Fuck This Shit.
Before I start whining (and since this is my first time posting since Christmas) I want to say thank you nafs for the card! It was much appreciated.

So.
I have been having a shit time sleeping since about Friday. In an entirely new way for me even. I go to sleep and I'm tired and I don't have too much trouble falling asleep but after a few hours I wake up and I'm awake enough that I have to work to fall back asleep. Then after that I wake up every hr or two and have to try to fall back asleep again til I've been in bed for 5 or 6 hrs and then I wake up and can't fall asleep at all. Consequently I get super tired after being up for only 8 hrs and either try to take a 2 hr nap (the only kind of nap I can actually manage) or just say fuck it and just got to bed. But either way the next time I try to get a full night's sleep the pattern repeats itself.
I do not know how to fix this. Taking a benadryl won't work, I tried that already. Instead of what usually happens when I take a benadryl to sleep (fall asleep fast and hard, wake up v. v. briefly when it wears off but fall right back asleep and get at least 8 hrs of sleep) I fell asleep like normal but woke up BEFORE it wore off and was back to the same cycle.
I have always had chaotic sleep patterns but damn it, this is worse than that span of time where it was taking me 2 hrs to fall asleep! At least that could be fixed with some benadryl. And I frickin' hate whining about my lack of sleep. Seems so pointless
