Insomnia

So for those of you that don't know, I am an insomniac.  I've been one for 5 yrs, but during the past year is when it has gotten really bad.  I hate not being able to fall asleep for hours, sometimes I don't; I just stay awake for like 2 days in a row.  I think my stress level is what affects it.  This past year has been very stressful; moving from the house I grew up in and into my dads, applying for jobs and getting denied, problems with my dad, moving out of my dad's and into my grandma's, financial struggle, and school work.  I toss and I turn throughout the night, restless.  It's not that I'm not tired, cause I am, it's just past events replay in my mind over and over, as well as what I hope my near future will turn out.  My mind doesn't seem to understand the concept of sleep. 

Recently, my mom bought me herbal medication that helps promote sleep.  It's is melatonin pills.  Melatonin is the natural chemical in your body that makes you sleepy.  Insomniacs have a loss of melatonin in their bodies, which is why they have difficulty falling asleep leaving their minds to wonder.  The pills I am taking replace the melatonin that I have lost.  I take 1 pill 20 minutes before I go to bed at night.  I wake up the next morning well rested after an 8 hour sleep.  For the past two nights, I have forgotten to take my melatonin pills and I was not able to fall asleep for 3-4 hours, versus the 30 minutes to 1 hr with the medication in my system.  It works. 

Yes, I did take my melatonin pill today.  I took it about an hour and a half ago, and I am fighting the extreme fatigue I type this blog.  I'm silly.  I really wanted to post a blog about my insomnia.  I think I am done with this blog.  It is time for me to embrace my sleepiness cause I have a long day of classes tomorrow, I mean today.  Got to wake up at 9am.  Night!! :D

Hellloooo Blogspot!!!

So I made a blogspot for really no reason, except out of boredom. That's the same reason for my formspring. I should actually be doing homework, but I am a procrastinator. lol. I rather surf the net, be on facebook, youtube, or anything online really, than do homework. tsk, tsk. I will get it done....eventually. lol. Well, I suppose I should now before I leave for work.
Laterz! <3
