WHY am I awake?

*sighs* I went to bed at 9:30. This was early for me, but I was sleepy, and I didn't actually sleep until about 11. I woke up again at 2:30, and for 3 hours, I haven't been able to get back to sleep.

 

This happened yesterday, too. I went to bed around 3:30 (normal for me) and couldn't sleep until 8.

 

I am frustrated. (And hungry again, but I don't think that has anything to do with it... my tummy's not growling.) I wish I could take something to help me sleep, but that's not a good idea. Tea didn't work, trying to bore myself to sleep didn't work, and I can't think of anything else.

 

ARGH. :ack:

Gah, interrupted sleep is almost worse than no sleep. I feel for you. And sometimes all the tricks in the book have no effect. They say for consistent good sleep things like, exercise daily, but not within five hours of bedtime. Don't drink caffiene or it will mess with sleep patterns. Try to go to bed at the same time every night. Don't have a TV in the bedroom. Make sure you have a dark room.

 

But sometimes, even all that and a hot water bottle, and you can still wake up after an hour and not get back to sleep.

 

I'm sorry and I feel for you. Hopefully, you'll be able to work off your sleep debt soon and get a good rest.

Thanks. I figured out the problem... I wasn't eating enough. Doh. :hugs:

 

I've been spending today mostly sleeping. And the frustrating part about yesterday was that I've been doing all the right things! No caffiene, no TV in the bedroom, the room is dark... well, I go to bed when I'm tired, but that's it. And I haven't been exercising.

 

But the sleep today has been DELICIOUS. :D
