Feb. 11th, 2003 12:56 pmHow the hell do I manage this? Sleep...like no other (for me anyway.) I mean I spent about 15 years living on 3-4 hours of sleep, no more than 6 EVER! (Seriously, about 15 years of this...I used to crawl between my bed and my wall with the nightlight plugged in so I could finish reading my Baby-sitter's Club books.
But then I'll get next to no sleep for awhile like usual until I can barely stand the entire time at work and then get these nights where I get plenty of sleep (like last night.) I mean once the neighbor's stopped having sex or I was successfully able to ignore it (either way, it was about 12:30) I fell asleep and didn't wake up once until 9:00. 8.5 straight hours of sleep? OK, so that sounds bordering on normal, but it's really freakin' weird for me! And what's even weirder is that then I went back to sleep until 11:00.
And I still haven't been able to truly wake up. It's 1 in the p.m. now and I'm thinking of taking a good book and my newest story idea back into bed and possibly dropping off for a little longer. I just hope I can stand for 8 hours at work.
Also I can't decide if this extreme exhaustion is just my body saying "Oh my God, she's finally giving me sleep, DON'T STOP!" or a sign of something wrong. Scott has suggested twice in the past that I could be anemic. Actually I'd like that solution since it would explain a) the tiredness, b) my multitude of bruises and c) the weird spotting I get between periods like every other month or so. Not to mention I'd much rather hear "You might be anemic" than something like...."You might have radiation poisoning" (OK, that was in honor of last night's CSI)
The point is: I hate doctors so they can't tell me ANYTHING bad if I don't go to one :P
