It's after 3AM. I've been trying to sleep for over three hours now. I'm exhausted yet wide awake. There is no point to this blog post at all, so do not expect any greatness or wisdom about insomnia to emerge from it because you will not find that here. Not being able to sleep has been one of my worst enemies for years. It's a son of a bitch. It's a mother effin' nightmare without being asleep. Ironic, isn't it? The worst part is that I have a headache that won't go away. That means I can't even do anything productive while I'm not sleeping. Writing this is painful. You reading it probably is as well.
Damn it. I even took my prescribed sleeping pill which apparently is a joke, so I'm not sure why I even bother half the time.
Who am I talking to? The clock? My water bottle? The man on TV trying to sell me a used car? I didn't even know they had infomercials for used cars?!
"U.S. Auto Credit" Now that sounds completely legit! ChooseMyPayment.com? Yeah, I'm thinking I'll pass on that one. I think I'll choose
NOT SO MUCH.
The Gawds of Sleep - Why have you forsaken me? Aww, f-bomb.
Although this is not me in the image above, the resemblance at the moment is uncanny.
So, my husband is one of those people that can literally fall asleep in 3 minutes - no matter where he is. You know - Aunt Gertrude's couch that smells like well, I don't know what that smell is - yeah, he can sit on it and be asleep before I can say "EWW! I think there's cheese in there."
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, my daughter is a chronic insomniac. He doesn't get why, when she is up fiddling around at 3 a.m., if he yells at her "GO TO SLEEP!!" it doesn't work.
First clue: You're YELLING! Who can sleep in that racket?
Hi Angie! Yeah, I never understood the 3-minute and under crowd. Never happens to me. Funny about your daughter :)
DeleteDarmn hun have you tried taking meltatonin?? That can work quite well! I swear, it helps with the headache too. Hope you got some rest today!
ReplyDeleteHello. Yes, melatonin does absolutely nothing for me. I've tried everything. But thanks ;)
DeleteWhat a bummer. I hope you're feeling better. I have trouble with headaches, too. The worst thing about insomnia + headache is that you can't read or anything because of the headache. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI guess at this point I consider myself lucky to sneak in 4-5 solid hours. Thanks, Amanda! :)
DeleteLuckily, that relentless bioche, Insomnia only strikes me when I drink too much cola or pepsi, late in the day.
ReplyDeleteRebeka, this blog is different, a refreshing change.
Hi Shauna! So happy to see you! I don't ever do the caffeine thing after 6pm or even earlier for that reason, so mine is just straight up insomnia. Good times! Glad you enjoyed your visit :)
