Sleep hypothesis

[featherynscale]

Finally got enough sleep last night to do some dreaming - not a full night's sleep, but in big enough chunks to be useful, apparently. (Of course, I dreamt that agrnmn was my Dad, which was fairly disturbing, but still - any dream is better than no dreams, from a mental-processing standpoint). Based on last night's experiments, I believe that I'm not sleeping because of a)brain floods, and/or b)dehydration. So if I can shut off the mental chatter and drink more water before I go to bed, presumably I can sleep.

(Thank you, triadruid for helping me shift my focus to something external (breaking the feedback loop) and for bringing a glass of water down (which made me think "Hrm... perhaps I should go get my own glass" when I woke up and wandered about in the middle of the night.)

I haven't gotten a whole lot of sleep either. As a matter of fact, I'm currently surviving on about 5 hours in the last few days. I'm thinking it may be due to the fact that I go to bed too late, I worry about money, I worry about mean judges, and I worry about my kids. It could be a combination of all the above, and the stars too. Something to think about.

So do you have the kids on the 17th?

My calendar says "Nothing" all day, and I'm going to stick to it - including worrying!

Yup, got kids, eye appointments, ritual team meeting and a party that afternoon. Ain't life grand. You think I could fit a few more things in my day??

Okay, maybe not that day, but you should find a day off. *smooch*
