Wednesday night

Every night I woke up during the night around 3.30. I hardly ever, make that never, wake up in the middle of the night. But this week was different and I am not pleased. First I was having a hard time falling asleep. Then I would have really vivid wild dreams. The dreams actually started during a nap on Saturday. Either way these are not the butterfly and rainbow dreams. These are the wake up in a start kind of dreams going ‘ WTF???’

So, lets take last night… I go to bed  around 11.30 and lay there and lay there and you get the picture. Finally I fall asleep and sure enough wake up in the middle of the night. Look at my alarm clock and, big surprise, it’s 3.30. I was not hot, cold, tangled in sheets, uncovered, didn’t have to pee, no bad dream at that point… nothing really to wake me up. So I lay there willing myself back to sleep, all while checking the clock… 3.45 then 4.00 then 4.15 then 4.30. I feel back a sleep after than just to wake up at 5.15 to start my day.

I think of is because my Pricer is not here this week, a busy week at work, the chaos that was our apartment (was finished last night!! Pics to come), and the change in season. Well I can’t fix all of those things but the 1 thing I can do is try unisom for the first time ever and hope that I make it past 3.30. So I’m off to bed before 8.30 hoping to get some real sleep tonight.
