Slight Problem

I have a little bit of a problem...I can't sleep. It wouldn't be so bad if it were just one night, no it's every night. Try as I might and as early as I go to bed and wear myself out, I cannot fall asleep before 1 or 2 in the morning, sometimes it's even 3 am before I actually fall asleep. My head just starts going and I can't stop thinking. Of course falling asleep so late leads to waking up late. I realized I was completely sleeping through my 6:30 alarm (I thought it was broken for awhile because it wasn't waking me up), so I turned that one off and have an 8:30 alarm that at least stirs me enough to turn it off. This morning I woke up just before ll or so but didn't get out of bed until after 12 (that would be noon). I thought I would have shocked my system enough yesterday since I had to wake up early to go to church and then didn't let myself take a nap, I even got to sleep at a god hour for me, 1 am, but I still didn't wake up this morning. I decided it had to do with not having a good reason to get out of bed. I have things to do, but nothing that really requires me to wake up early.

Hopefully I get it put back into shape within the next week or so because a week-long workshop is coming up that will require me to wake up at normal hours in two weeks. I'm sure my co-workers will bang on my door if I don't show up for breakfast or something.

Ambien is a wonderful thing, my friend. :) :)

I think it's because you don't have anything super important to wake up for- however, you body gets into sleep habits really easily, so you need to be careful about that... it would be terrible to keep that habbit going when school starts back up.
