| Can't sleep, Clowns will eat me.... I'm having a bout of insomnia lately, during the week I can't fall asleep so I'll play solitaire or free cell or surf the net until I feel sleepy (about midnight or 1am or so) but then I'm back up around 5:00 or 5:30 am.
However, on weekends I am so exhausted it's all I can do to stay awake! I think I was awake and functioning for maybe 12 hours in total last Saturday and Sunday.
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't do huge amounts of caffiene.
I go through this every few months or so, for a week or so, then I just naturally fall back into a 'normal' sleeping pattern.
My doctor was willing to prescribe Ambien for me, but I don't think I want to risk getting hooked on sleeping pills, especially if there is an underlying cause that I haven't addressed yet.
Does this sound like stress? depression? pent-up sexual frustration? |
