I finally got up. I mean really, how long am I suppose to lay there dreaming of sleep before I just realize it’s never going to come? Two hours? Two and half hours? Well, I gave it that and no luck so here I am.
This happens to me quite a bit…struggling to stay asleep for the entire night. I’m beginning to think the culprit is my bladder, it being the reason I’m getting out of bed mid sleep. I remember when I was pregnant this happened to me all the time. I’d wake up to go to the bathroom and could never find rest again. Of course then I had such a good excuse. I was completely uncomfortable due to my ever growing mass and I was actively getting kicked. Although, I’m glad to not have that excuse today, I can’t quite understand why sleep eludes me so. First things first, I must find a way to stop waking up at 1ish. Note to self: cut off water supply by at least 7:30pm. I don’t know, do you think that’s soon enough?
Sleep is so delicious that it pains me to be in this situation. You have to admit though, there is something sweet about being up in the quiet to get stuff done. I think really well in the middle of the night or I should say, I usually have my best ideas. Not to say my ideas are actually great when I wake up, but when I’m in bed and I’ve got nothing else to do they seem brilliant. Of course I would give it all up if sleeping through the night were an option. Why isn’t it an option? I want it, I really do. Tomorrow, excuse me, today is going to be brutal as I attempt to get stuff done on one of my busiest mornings of the week and try to avoid crawling back in bed. Aargh! I only have two hours before I’m suppose to get up and run. Wish me luck. I’m off to attempt sleep again. what do you do if you can’t sleep?
