For the past few weeks I have been having some trouble sleeping, and staying asleep. I thought maybe because of my surgery I had goofed up my sleep pattern. So I've been trying really hard to get back on a healthy sleep pattern. I've been waking up in the middle of the night for at least an hour, not being able to get back to sleep. So I get up....check the computer, see what's on tv, think about all the things I need to be getting ready for our Haiti trip. After an hour or two of those things, I decide it's time to try again. So I sneak back to bed, careful not to wake the sleeping bear...I mean Ben. Lay myself down and pray that I fall asleep. Most night I do eventually.
This Lack of sleep has really started to wear on me. I was at the dr. today and told her of my problem, it may be related to the malaria meds we are taking. My dr. prescribed me lunesta for my insomnia. So I took that tonight. I went to bed. Then I started seeing things, snakes on the ceiling fan, spiders swinging through the air. All of which I know are not real, but there are certain light in our bedroom that could resemble these things. My eyes were just playing tricks on me! Ben suggested, "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" Then I wouldn't see them I suppose. So I decided to get up and wait until I feel tired. Then hopefully this new med I am on will help me get a full 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep!
I think it's time to head back to the snakes on the ceiling. I'm getting pretty tired! Wish me Luck!
PS. That is not our ceiling fan....just a picture I found on the internet for a visual effect of what I was seeing. We don't hang weird snake like things on our ceiling fans around here!
