My sleeping patterns suck! One night I will not be able to fall asleep till one in the morning the next night I will fall asleep at ten. The time I fall asleep is not the only issue. Some nights I wake up every hour others I sleep through. Sometimes I wake up at six without an alarm clock other times I wake up at ten.

I went to the doctor a couple of months ago and she said it probably had to do with my stress levels. So I have been doing a lot in my life to reduce the stress. I told my husband he had to take over paying the bills. He did and he hates it. (I do really appreciate it, thank you) Also, I am down to three days a week at work. I don’t feel stressed anymore. My stress headaches have gone away. I do not have as much back problems as I used to have, but my sleep problem is still the same.

At the doctors visit she gave me some sleeping pills. So last night I decided I would take one. I took one at ten and fell asleep at ten thirty. But when it came time to wake up, I couldn’t. Actually I did wake up, but it was the hardest thing to do. It is now ten in the morning and I can still feel the effects of the medicine. I could fall asleep typing this if I was not afraid someone would catch me. So I am trying to do everything I can, not to fall asleep.

All I wish is that I could sleep normally
