Sleepless

[clevermanka]

My seasonal insomnia has kicked in. Lovely. It would've been nice to wait to deal with this after KCRF. Saturday night I was awake for about three hours in the middle of the night. Sunday I went to bed at 9:30 but was awake from about 11:40 to 1:00 and then again from 2:15 to 3:30. Last night I was awake from about midnight until 3:00.

I'm so tired. Ugh. I hate this. I hope I remember to take a Benedryl tonight. I'm thinking through molasses.

I'd love to tell you all what an awesome Columbus Day I had, but my brain is numb. Here is a photo of me that I hope conveys the appropriate level of great time happiness.

Sudafed + Vivarin = Good times!


One of my fave photos from yesterday. See the original Flickr photo page for notes on who's wearing whose bloomers, if you're interested.

at least your hair looks great?

Thank you. Even I have to admit yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm finally getting the hang of this henna/indigo business.

Try melatonin. Someone at work was raving about how amazingly it made her sleep.

Hm! I have some leftover from our trip to Italy. I did help with the jet lag. Wonder if it's expired yet. Thank you!

Yeah, ditto. I have a friend in Canada who uses it for herself and her kids where the change in light is even more brutal.

First- it was lovely to see you and you looked spectacular- adore the hair! Second- I hadn't considered "seasonal" insomnia. I've recently had severe issues as well and will have to research this.

Thank you!!!

Yeah, I've had seasonal insomnia (in the spring/fall changeovers to summer and winter) for about five years now. It lasts from five to fourteen days. It's awesome!

Dude! This is insane! I couldn't sleep two weeks ago for about 10 days straight. I had no idea what was going on. I always sleep through the night! I even went off all the caffeine, just to see if that would help. It's somehow comforting to know that it's not just me.

Yeah. I think it's not that uncommon. Sorry to hear you suffer from it, too. Hope you're sleeping better now? I've been knocking myself out with Benedryl. Didn't take it last night and wow do I regret it.

[radiantmephit.livejournal.com]

Yes, after about 10 days, I finally slept through the night. Now I'm even back to drinking caffeine. Life has resumed normalcy. Based on the timeline you mentioned, you should be good by Halloween at least, right?

Oh, definitely. I hope so!!!
