Tired, Tired, Sleepy
I’d like to go to bed now, please. Visiting for the holidays disrupted my sleep hygiene. Last night, I stayed up too late—after eleven, even—and that triggered my do not sleep, ever reflex. I didn’t get to sleep properly until nearly 2 a.m., but I still woke up at my usual time this morning: shortly before 6 a.m. I’m tired enough to vomit. It’s not even 6 p.m. If I go to bed now, I’ll wake up at eleven tonight, unable to fall back to sleep, and the insomnia cycle will start all over again. I’m too exhausted to accomplish much else today. I’ll make dinner, after which I’ll watch TV until nine or 9:30. Then sleep, beautiful sleep.
