waitaminnute. you are/were sick and you needed help sleeping? *boggles* when i'm sick, i can sleep a good 12-14 hours, eat, go back to sleep for oh maybe as long again!
I have weirdness with sleep. When I don't want to sleep, and would much rather Do Other Things, including the boyfriend, I can't stay awake. Want to write something so I don't lose it? Crash time.
Desperately need rest so I don't implode at work and start Googling for sniper rifles for sale? WIIIIIDE AWAKE OMFG. Sickness messes with this, but it's a good bet it'll do it in just the right way to make me miserable.
Hence, sleeping pill. Also hence, sorta-scary marathon sleep session. *headdesk*
And now, following my return to The Workplace, I'm exhausted but can't sleep yet. Can't win this week; try again next week.
Yea, see that's just not something that enters my reality. OK, except for when I'm running a godawful fever, like 102F where I do nothing but wretch and sweat, but I eventually go to sleep.
Though I can understand insomnia. OH BOY can I. When they were weaning me off some meds for my head injury many years ago, the neurologist never told me it would totally fuck with my sleeping (bastard!). Two hours, three hours of sleep over 48-60 hours? So much fun, only not. Walking zombie who couldn't choke down enough caffine to make it worthwhile to be awake. And yet, can't sleep. More coffee, still zonked. Still can't sleep. Viscous, viscous circle. Weeks of that and I thought I'd loose my mind. Very nearly did. Oh, wait...
