To Sleep, or Not To Sleep?
I don’t know what’s with me lately, but I cannot sleep. I am use to going to bed around 9-10 and waking at 5. This is pretty much how it goes, and we’re happy when we can sleep until 6am on the weekends. Now recently something shifted. I’m not sure what it is, but now I can’t sleep. I still go to bed around the same time (but now on break it’s more like 11pm), but now I can’t sleep much after 3:30AM. I’ve taken to rolling around in bed for awhile and then getting up; I’ll go into the living room and stretch out on one of our couches. Sometimes I can fall back asleep, but I still roll. My body’s been agitated. I can’t stop moving around. Why? I’ve tried Melatonin, and I’ve even doubled to dose. I bet Tylenol PM would put me to sleep (since Benadryl puts me down like a dead horse), but then I can’t get up in the morning. I’ve tried Hydrocodone, but this isn’t a great way to sleep. I have Mecalizine, which nails me harder than Benadryl. I just don’t know. Any ideas?
