Sleep
September 11, 2007 by piereth
This is the motherlode for me, and if I don’t get it it hurts, really hurts.
The pills which were working so well are starting to slip… I’m bolting awake at 3.30 or 4am, and while I seem not to have much trouble drifting off again it seems suspiciously like the thin end of the wedge to me.
I had thought this was because I hadn’t been having my customary 2 or even 3 glasses of vino in an evening, but it appears this is not the case - I had’em last night, and the sameold happened as normal.
Perhaps I shouldn’t complain. My average sleep achieved per night has gone up from 5 hours to 7.5 and this has got to be a good thing, but any sleep deprivation at all sends me loopy. I begin forgetting things and reeling about in a somnambulist trance during the day. Anyway, it pisses me off.



Sleep is vital, I couldn’t agree more. Especially because I lay awake last night from about 4.30am thinking “Why the hell can’t I sleep? I never have trouble sleeping and now it keeps happening!”
If I find a solution I’ll let you know. I’m going to be methodical and start by ruling out entire bars of Green & Black’s chocolate, just in case…
