I don't know what it is, but I just cannot sleep these days. I still get up at a reasonable hour most of the time, but getting to bed is getting harder and harder. Making things worse is the fact that I do get tired around 10pm, when FyreSpawn (as he shall be known on my blog) goes to bed. That is, 10 pm if I'm lucky, more often it's between 8:30 and 10. Not very realistic to go to bed before the kid.
Anyway, what happens is that I wind up staying up that extra hour doing whatever I'm doing and by 11, I'm not at all tired anymore. Happens whether I smoke or not, so I don't think that's a contributing factor. Even more puzzling is that I discovered that I've been on decaf for the past 5 days or so. *Mental note, don't ask the kid to pick up coffee at Stewart's. Get it myself.*
I find myself wasted and useless in the morning, and then lying in bed awake at night. Last night I was up until around 4 or 5am. I kept going to bed, lying there restless for an hour or so and then getting up to try to wind down and make myself tired.
Tea, warm baths, none of it seems to work. I'd be tempted to pull out the old muscle relaxants if they hadn't expired - lol.
"Sleep is for the weak, I'll sleep when I'm dead." Lovely sentiment in jest, but in reality, this lack of sleep is liable to kill me one of these days, especially if I'm wasted, tired and trying to cross an Albany street. *Shudder*
