Or more precisely, weekend. Yeah.
I went to bed at ten p.m. last night. Didn’t fall asleep till five a.m. I’m not kidding. This ain’t helping my head cold thing one bit. I’ve been vulnerable to the cold because my sleeping’s been wildly off lately, and experience has long taught me that the more messed up my sleeping, the worse off I am, and I’m not talking about alertness issues. A couple of hours short of my ideal sleep time mean a runny nose the following day. If this gets sustained for a week, all hell breaks loose.
I’ve been floating around a theory as to why my sleeping’s been whacked out. It’s a new brand of vitamin supplements I started taking. It’s essentially an energizer, and even when I take them in the morning to ensure an unaffected sleeping time (and that’s with the minimum dosage, too), my rest is still shot to all heck. So say buh-bye to dem pills.
I blame Andy, you know. He’s the one who made me get that bottle (“for my own good”) because, apparently, the once-a-day stuff I’ve been taking (and have been perfectly happy with, thank you) had ingredients that didn’t come from some trusted source (according to his definition). He doesn’t agree with my general life philosophy of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Now look where that “improvement” took me.
Oh, and speaking of the husband… he’s out cycling and enjoying the sun. Me? Stuck indoors and dying.
I’ll have to let all the air out of his bike’s tires when he’s not looking. And lower his saddle so that it’ll look like he’s riding a clown bike. That oughta learn him.
Dude. I’ve had to take Unisom for over a year now just to keep me asleep, I’m prone to waking up every four hours and without the ‘som, I stay awake.
I’ve tried that before, but I always woke up feeling worn out – like I never really got to deep sleep or REM sleep. I do respond well to melatonin, but it didn’t work last night. I guess the day supplements I took proved to be much stronger. Meh.
That’s my favorite scene from “The Incredibles”.
I have to take pills to sleep and I switch back and forth between Melatonin and ibuprofen PM. Even with them, I wake often and flop around in bed. It’s just that I can’t sleep at all without them.
You should put pink streamers on his bike. Or a basket. Failing that, next time he goes out and leaves you, sit by the window and die forlornly and romantically.
The Incredibles is such a brilliant movie. I never get tired watching it a gazillion billion times.
I’ve had better sleep since I dumped the supplements and avoided taking anything at all on Sunday (to clear out my system). My colds were touch and go, but things are a lot more improved now.
Ha. Andy got spared, but he knows about the supplements. XD The threat regarding his bike remains, though, in case he decides to mess around some more.
