Sleep...

or lack there of.

I go from one extreme to the other. Either I have absolutely no problems sleeping, or I can't sleep for beans. There is no middle ground.

Sometimes I can rest my head on a pillow and be out for 7 hours. Sleep is so blissful then.

Lately however, this has not been the case. I fall asleep ok, but 60-90 minutes later I am wide awake. I toss and turn, get up, check email, eat something, take a bath, lay back down, fall asleep, wake up 15 minutes later, toss turn, repeat.

Why?

I know my room down here isn't as dark as my cave at home, (gonna remedy that soon). Is that it? Perhaps my lack of satisfaction with my new contract? Missing my family? Hormones? (How do you make a hormone?) Too much time on my hands?

Gotta get into a pattern, gotta start getting good sleep. I know I turn into a major crab ass when I am tired. At least my family will be spared that, as they are in Alpena and I am here.

Someone gift me with a conveniently sized 2x4 for my upcoming 35th ::sigh:: birthday.
