Kristin WolgemuthInsomnia Part II
June 29th 2009 17:53
I wrote a post before about having ridiculous insomnia. I would wake up so early in the morning that it was practically still night time. I would be up for hours before I could sleep again. Well, now the problem has changed.
I wake up early to take my medicine, so I've been setting my alarm for 4 or 5am. This seems sort of silly, but I have good reason. See, my medicine makes me tired, so I fall asleep again for a couple of hours. This way I feel better during the day. But.... I now am often having a difficult time getting back to sleep again. Maybe I am just adjusting to the medication.
It's completely unpredictable when the medicine will make me tired now and when it won't. This is frustrating, but I guess I'll just get used to it.
Speaking of getting used to things and going off on a tangent here, there are some things I cannot get used to. Things that drive me up the wall. For example, I was driving my cat to the vet this morning, and there was a tractor trailer driving slowly in the left lane. Since that's the passing lane, and there were pokey people already in the right lane, I was stuck behind the guy. I wanted to lay on my horn until he moved. I was in a hurry. (But don't worry, I was just patient and waited for him to move. No need for road rage!)
Another thing that's bothering me today is that my sister came over for lunch today, but she barely spoke to me the entire time. She was on her cell phone arguing with her ex-boyfriend one minute, then being lovey-dovey the next. It was driving me nuts. She didn't seem to mind, though.
And another thing- why do people flush the toilet with the lid up? Don't they know that germs go flying everywhere, all over everything, when they do that? I'm mean, really, it doesn't take that much time or effort to put the lid down first. Sheesh. I am really going on a rant here.
I am frustrated by crumbs. I hate crumbs, any time, any where, on anyone's counter or table. It's so easy to not make crumbs or if you do, to clean them up. It takes, what? 30 seconds or less? Seriously.
Anyway, back to the insomnia. Tomorrow I have nothing to do, so I'm going to wake up at a normal time to take my medicine. Then I'll see how tired I get and if I need to keep waking up at crazy hours. Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake. Yep, that's the plan. I prefer not to get up before the sun.
