Better

May 9, 2009

In the past 3 weeks or so, I’ve been annoyingly waking up every day way too early between 4:30am to 6am, for no good reason. And then not being able to go back to sleep. For whatever reason, I wasn’t even feeling tired in the daytime. It started the morning my mom went home, and we had to be up by 4:30am to make her flight. Well, once again this morning I woke up at 6:30am, despite wanting to sleep in. However, I did go to bed early last night.

I think by Thursday morning, the sleep deprivation was kicking in, and I started getting into a weird emotional funk. That happens when I’m sleep deprived, but normally I can just sleep it off. See normally, sleep is the easiest thing to me, and I can sleep basically anywhere at any time. But this past few weeks has been really strange. As a result, the last few days I’ve felt completely off kilter. Physically and emotionally.

Anyway, I had a solid sleep last night, after chatting through things with a good friend. I can’t say I woke up and everything was right again with the world. But it’s better. Because most of my problems were all in my head, and not really reflective of anything else going on anywhere else. Not feeling sick anymore. That’s a big start.

By the way, I seem to photosynthesize or something. I’ve been eating like a bird this past week on my trip, spending a lot of time hungry because things were busy, walking around a lot more than usual. And I came home and found I’d gained 2 pounds. Go figure.
