Sleep.

When I was in high school/college I had a lot of sleeping problems. I would find myself sitting up in bed in the middle of the night. I never remembered tossing and turning or waking up, I would just sort of come-to and be sitting up in bed.

The last few months I have been having some sleeping problems again. I wake up at 2am almost every morning. I think the exception to waking up at 2am is when I come home at 2am. I have been sleeping so much on the weekends, when it comes Sunday night, I have slept so much that I can’t fall asleep at a reasonable time.

Take last night for example…this weekend I had a late and sort of crazy Friday night. I did nothing on Saturday during the day. I went to dinner and hung out with some friends on Saturday night, but was home and in bed by about 10pm. On Sunday, I slept until about 8:30am, worked out, ran errands, read some magazines, etc. and then last night, I was awake, in bed until about 1am. And then awake around 2am. Then  my alarm went off at 6:40am. And I snoozed until 7am. Today I had three caffeinated beverages and at 3pm I could have leaned over on my desk and passed out.

I am not really sure what to do, but I sort of feel like one of those people in the Ambien commercials - “Need help falling asleep and staying asleep?” YES! That is me. Maybe I should see a doctor…it’s only been…YEARS since I have been to a doctor for a normal check up/physical. I don’t even have a general practitioner in Dallas. I have every other type of doctor, but not a regular, old doctor.

Great, now I am going to be worrying about not being able to sleep and finding a doctor that I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
