The Dangers of Sleep Deprivation

Cat For Sale - Just Kidding!

With it being my first day back to work being complete, I wanted to go to bed early. I find that if I'm lacking sleep at the beginning of my work week, it will slowly add up day by day. My week at the moment starts on a Sunday, and my day five is on a Thursday. With that said, I went to bed early... by 11pm at the latest.

I was in a deep sleep, when all of a sudden my fur-baby decided to use my stomach as a trampoline. Imagine a 17lb cat jumping from the window ledge, and bouncing off your stomach at top speed. Yes, I screamed and actually fell out of bed. I'm sure my neighbors heard me curse at the damn cat... swearing at 2am in the morning! I love my cat, but not at this hour! Looks like he's the only one that will be purring tomorrow.

Can't Sleep

It seems that it's one of those nights again where I'm not able to sleep. I keep yawning, yet I'm wide awake... as if that makes any sense. I found myself lying awake in bed listening to my hubby snore. A million things keep going through my mind: what to make for dinner tomorrow, my hubby being sick, my cat being too fat, needing to buy onions tomorrow, doctor and dentist appointments this Thursday, my one year wedding anniversary next week, mom's birthday next week, etc. All kinds of odd things pop into my mind when I'm unable to sleep. I got tired of staring at my cellphone... I wanted to blog and Tweet on the big screen.

What do you do when you can't sleep?

Medical Update

Once again I'm stuck with another night of insomnia. I've been getting only about 2 hours of sleep every night, and haven't been feeling too well. I don't know if it's due to stress, but my anxiety seems to be acting up as well. Maybe it's because of the last month with the added stressors. Which I should probably update you and let you all know that mom is doing well.

The last month I've taken on more then I have in over a year or so. With mom having surgery, it forced me to take on more responsibility. Really at my age I should be fully independent  however, it's such a struggle due to my anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia. The last few weeks I've been taking the bus around town to visit mom, visit grandma, and running errands. On top of that I had gone back to work... and boom... stress overload.

I really just want to get a good nights sleep, so I don't feel so stressed and anxious. I wake up feeling sick, tired, just completely unwell. At least I'm eating well... although I haven't lost any more weight. Hopefully I can finally get some rest, relax my mind, and continue on the road to a better me.

Lack of sleep...

Once again I'm exhausted from the lack of sleep. I woke up a little after 3 AM, and then tried to sleep around 5 AM. I guess I actually fell asleep finally, because my husband's alarm went off at 5:50 AM... I've been up since. I have a headache, my eyes are burning, my nose feels like it's going to fall off (not sure if it's a cold or allergies), and I'm in a bitchy mood. It also doesn't help that I've been on Twitter for the past few hours. Tweeting in bed seems to calm me... that is until the sun starts to blind me. So now I'm up, moody as hell, hungry but there's nothing to eat, and wishing I could turn the sun off.

What do you do to help you fall asleep? I really want to finally get some well needed Zzz's.
