just a quick entry because i cant get to sleep. today was ok. yesterday sucked. i was in bed all day. i wanted to get up, but physically couldnt. i was exhausted. i would wake up every few hours and just need to fall right back to sleep again. i perked up around 11pm. it sucked. so i downed some iron tablets. i get really low iron, to the point where i have heart palpatations and headaches and dizziness and eventually complete lethargy. i have a good iron rich diet, i dont know what else i can do. im trying to curb my habit of popping pills every five minutes. anyway, im no stranger to insomnia and i learnt to deal with it without sleeping pills. i guess it doesnt matter if i have to sleep all day, im awake all night. i like night time, everything is quiet, i can shuffle around the house in peace, i can go outside without having to see my neighbours, i think clearly, the atmosphere is more exciting at night. during the day i just cant wait for the sun to set. i think im photosensitive. i wear sunglasses inside the house if im awake in the morning. i shouldnt, because its bad for my body clock and probably half the reason for my insomnia.

Have a blood test to make sure you are lacking iron and if you are, you should be only taking a tablet a day - I am iron deficient and it is one tablet a day. I had the same problem last night because partner was working and came home and went to bed and then I had to get him in the shower so I was busy with a migraine reading affidavits for my court case. Slept right through until 2.11 pm and my partner forgot the car had to have a wheel alignment and couldn't get it done today - being done tomorrow. The booking for this afternoon couldn't be met. Insomnia is a pain in the butt. Use the relevant relaxation cd's, deep breathing. They help me sometimes.

Go Zombie!!!
