Song of the Day: Tuesday

On Tuesday, I started feeling spacey and queasy. Sleeplessness does that to me. So, I came home, worked out, showered, had dinner and passed out around 9:30pm. I woke up some time in the night to turn off the bedside lamp and didn't wake again until morning. I't was about 7:30am when I turned on NPR, but I was awake long before that. It felt good to sleep and I still felt a little sticky--like I couldn't lift myself from the mattress--when I got up at 8:45am to get ready for work. I spent about half an hour digging my car out from the snow.

Anyway, when I got home from work, my downstairs neighbors were playing this song. Pretty cool! And, definitely glad I wasn't trying to sleep while it was on. I used to think this was CeeLo. Glad to be corrected.

Song of the Day: Monday

I stayed home today. I didn't get much sleep last night. Saturday night I fell asleep for good around 8:30, after falling asleep watching a half-hour show that I'd DVRed; I woke up a couple of times during the night, but didn't wake up for good until 7:30am. I thought I was just catching up on sleep. So, when I went to sleep last night, I did not anticipate still being awake at 4am.

I read as is usual for my bedtime routine. And when I laid down, sleep would not come; actually I felt myself jerking awake whenever I started to drift off. I eventually turned on the radio since that sometimes puts me to sleep. BBC was on. Next thing I know, it's about 8:30am and I haven't slept well.  

I stayed home to try to catch up on some sleep, but I couldn't sleep. Again! I ate, showered, changed the sheets on my bed and watched a bit of telly. I also read.

So, tonight I hope to get some decent sleep. I am hoping that I am not in my insomnia phase. It would suck if I am since I am not the nicest person when I don't get enough sleep.

So, today's song: Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge. Not sure why I've never posted it on here, but it was in my head today.

Song of the Day: Thursday

I flubbed this one. I have been struggling with insomnia all week. And, finally, last night (Thursday!) I was so exhausted I started falling asleep watching tv. At 8 o'clock at night!!! I finally made my way to bed right before nine, because I had to put up a fight.

And, after my bedtime routine, I tried to read a book. I kept dozing off, so I decided to go to bed. At 10:10. (I do remember half a thought about the blog before entering the land of Nod.) Next thing I knew it was morning and I felt good. Except for the fact that it was bright and sunshiny outside and I had about an hour before my alarm went off.

I could have used some more sleep, but what I got was wonderful. The mellow kind of wonderful where one (meaning I) wanders around singing Frou Frou. I forget which song was on my mind, but this one is apropos considering how exhausted I must have been to fall asleep in front of the tv at 8.
