This has got to stop. It's one thing to have occasional sleepless nights, but habitually waking up at 1 or 2 and not being able to go back to sleep is ridiculous. It screws up my whole day! How can I do anything when I'm having to keep my eyes propped up with toothpicks all day? Sure, I've been getting a lot of writing done, but I have other things that need to be accomplished. Like running kids around. Cooking and cleaning. Appointments. Articles.
In my effort to get healthy (and lose about 30 pounds before nationals:) I've been drinking a lot of water, so I get up more at night than I used to. But I have always been able to go back to sleep. I used to have a gift for sleep, dammit. I used to be able to fall asleep anywhere at any time. Those days are gone.
I think this might be cyclical, having to do with my hormones, because when I do have sleepless nights it's always around this time, but it has never been night after night like this.
On the upside, DECK is coming along beautifully.

But at least your getting the writing done! Have fun with the water thing. I need to do this also!
I swear by Tylenol PM. I don't take it regularly, but when I do, it knocks me out for the whole night, without a sleep hangover in the morning. Worth a shot. Sweet dreams!
heh. my blog today is about my insomnia. maybe we should call each other in the middle of the night ;-)
I always envied your ability to sleep.
That sucks. Did you try eating a lot of turkey? :)
Hugs, Teri. I've had periods where I've gone for months with insomnia, and it really does start to throw everything off.
I hope you get it figured out soon, so you can get a good night's rest.
I fall asleep easily, but if I wake up in the middle of the night, I generally can't get back to sleep. Tylenol PM (aka Benadryl) helps with that, but I can't take it while on my daily allergy meds. I feel for you!
Congrats on DECK, and good on you for getting healthy!!
Aw, Teri. No fun. I hope you get some sleep soon! If the insomnia strikes again tonight, though...
You've just been tagged for a meme! The pertinent info is on my blog. http://lindagerber.blogspot.com/
