I have narcolepsy... I was passing out all day. Came home feeling sick (combination I believe of high blood sugar, the stress I've been going through, messed up sleep pattern from having baby squirrels that last few nights and the fact that I took my wake up drugs earlier in the day and they never work and I was crashing). I was so tired I felt I was dying. So, I laid down for an hour and didn't really sleep but just laid quietly and very lightly dozed.
Took my diabetes meds to get my sugar down (because I was so freaking tired at work, I craved carbs and had a snickers). My sugar went flying down way too fast, not because of the glucophage, I can tell you. So, having a sugar crash now. Geez.
Curled up on the chair and watched a couple more eps of Jericho while I ate a granola bar.
Then answered a few posts here and all of the sudden decided I needed to do some work on the Wildlife Center's webpage and write like a novel to the director about the work I was going to do. I had already taken 2 of my sleep pills and was looking forward to a full night's rest of deep sleep to catch me up.
Instead, it's 2:35am and I can't sleep!!! WTF! I don't know how my brain is fighting off the sleeping pills! I did get about 2 hours sleep. This is crazy. I guess I'll go into work REALLY early and then get to leave REALLY early so I can come home and nap. But damn. I still feel tired, but when I lay there, I just toss and turn and think and feel hungry and nauseous at the same time.
Maybe I'm nervous about meeting the folks I'll be working with tomorrow? Maybe I'm having a delayed reaction from my wake-up pills?! I got jittery and chatty for like a half hour about 1 1/2 hours after taking them, but then crashed quickly and they are supposed to long-lasting. Maybe I should try taking them first thing in the morning (which is when it says you are supposed to take them... maybe you just have a quick spike, a little crash, but then it rebounds and you have hours of awake time that can even overcome sleeping pills). Well, I'll try that next week, not tomorrow.
Okay, I'm done babbling on this. I'm just irked because I wanted a good night's rest and here I am talking to myself at 2:30 in the morning... blah.
