featherynscaleI was wondering why I whine so much about things like not being able to sleep in my journal. This morning, I realized it was so that when I'm wondering how long it's been since I last got any decent sleep, I could go back and check. Clever, me. So apparently it's been a few days longer than I thought, since I first started talking about not sleeping on the 30th December. Six days, not two or three. No wonder I'm tired. No wonder I wanted to cry this morning when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
triadruid came in to get me out of bed.
Something needs to change in this game. Normally when I can't sleep, it's because I can't breathe. I wake up startled and fuzzy-minded, and immediately go back to sleep. This is not that. I wake up fully present, and can't go back to sleep for 15-30 minutes. I thought it was the cold meds (stimulants, after all), but I haven't had any cold meds for a couple of days now, and still, not the sleeping.
Next thing I know, I'll be getting night jobs as a projectionist, or sitting up all night writing goetic evocations of Snuffleuphagus (or not - I'm pretty sure that knowing a spirit's true name and nature are prerequisites for evocation, and not only do I not know how to spell the name of the beast, I had a difference of opinion withtriadruid last night over whether it was intended to be a mammoth or an anteater.)

Re: Insomnia IS a Bitch
Date: 2004-01-05 08:44 am (UTC)The meds are probably not the issue - I'm not on anything psychotropic, and my hormone pills are a steady-dose replacement for a gland I no longer have, and I don't have any of the other constellation of symptoms that imbalance in dosage causes.
Thanks for sharing your exercise, I've been remiss on my meditative practices of late (read: for a few months now) and need to get my ass back on the road.
