get enough sleep

I have a sleeping disorder so I’m awake a lot. For every 48 hours I’m up I sleep 6.

Right now it’s about 5 hours with some waking in between.

the week continues the theme of the weekend. I’ve been waking way too early and almost falling asleep at work by the time the afternoon arrives…

Time to find the right balance of sleep, work and play.

has proved to be difficult as far sleep goes. I’ve been waking far too early and as a consequence been tired far too early in the day. Today I’ve tried to take a nap twice, but not been able to sleep really.

I’m sure at least part of the reason is the strange weather. Well, I hope this’ll get better as the week goes on.

I was tired since I’ve been on business travel for a week, so I just took a nap. The dishes waited. The chickens survived without me. I felt refreshed afterwards. Wow, what a concept! :-)

I am such a zombie today. Even though I took the (generic) Ambien, on an empty stomach as directed, last night. At 2 a.m. I was awakened by the sound of my reprobate daughters talking and laughing, and couldn’t get back to sleep after I had to get up and tell them to get to bed. I can hardly take it any more …

AND it has been an especially gruelling day at work.

last night should have been an outstanding night of sleep – my doc finally prescribed some Ambien. But I did not take it on a totally empty stomach, and really did not sleep straight through as expected. But I was able to get up and run at 5, so it was a victory, anyway!

I am postponing the recommended surgery for now, and hope I can avoid it altogether.

Last week was a rough week as my husband’s boss and good friend of 10 years was killed in an airplane accident. Overall, though, I’ve been getting closer to 6 hours rather than 4. It’s quite an improvement.

both good and not so good, my hoped-for naps of the weekend were interrupted and didn’t really happen. I hope I can catch up when I have some free time due to my concert-going at the end of the coming week.
