I have sleep issues. I don’t even know how to classify them, really. I sleep at all the wrong times, and then can’t sleep when I should. I’m tired, pretty much all the time. It’s very frustrating.
I actually had a sleep study scheduled for tonight, but I postponed it. I’ve done that so many times that I can’t even count, and I decided I didn’t want to spend the money on it. (I actually have no idea how much it cost, I haven’t done it since my insurance changed.) The doctor took some blood, I want to wait and hear the results of that before I do something else.
In the meantime, I’m trying not to nap, and to be in the bed, trying to fall asleep, by midnight. (You’ll notice that it’s 1:30am and I’m on the couch. I start out poorly and get better as the week goes on.)
I have sleeping pills, which are a blessing and a curse. My insurance will only pay for 15 a month, in some strange (expensive!) attempt to keep you from getting addicted. Is sleeping every other day worth $50 a month? I don’t know. So confusing. Also, these are supposedly “four hour pills”, meaning that they’re completely out of your system in four hours. (They help you get to sleep, not necessarily stay there.) I think I might still feel slightly zombie-esque in the mornings, though.
Do you think there will be warnings on the pills about blogging while taking them, kind of like the warnings about how you might eat or drive your car?
Edit, 5/22/08: I wrote this a month ago, and then I wasn’t sure I wanted to post it. Reading it tonight, I decided it could go.
