Not sleeping, that's for sure.
What's In Your Cup?
Coffee, even though it's not time to get up. But did I mention the not sleeping part?
Vent and Rant:
Why oh why can't I sleep? Why must I wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and then just STAY awake until I can't stand staying in the bed any longer? 
Admittedly I have a lot on my mind. I put an offer on a house yesterday. I go to the dr today to get the results of my shoulder MRI. Sleeping was never my strong suit, but this is getting ridiculous. I do not want to take sleep aids, although I have tried melatonin. It worked the first couple of times I tried it but not right now.
Anyway, not sleeping is making me grouchy!  |
Coffee at whatever early hour of the morning simply guarentees that you won't sleep. It might help to cut back on the caffene during the day and see that helps with the sleep.
It sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now. I know when that is the case for me I cannot shut off my mind and sleep. Heck, I watch Lucas and I realize that learning to shut the brain off so you can sleep is one of the hardest things to learn to do. Little guy will be exhausted, eye rubbing and yawning like no tomorrow but he just can't sleep. He cries very loudly to make sure that we are aware he has not figured the trick out.
Be good to yourself. Enjoy a movie, read a silly book, do something that does not take a lot of brain power and see if that helps you drift back off. But avoid the coffee.
Good luck with the house and the Doctor!
