For some reason, all I've wanted to do today is sleep. I took maybe two naps, yawned constantly all day, and managed to pass out at 8:00 with the lights and the TV on.

I don't know why I was so tired today. Maybe just thinking about the fact that this week is one of those weeks that is going to suck the big one sent my body into sleep mode out of panic, like it's trying to preemptively compensate for the rest of the week. The only problem I have with this is that sleeping for longer than, say, 7 hours usually makes me feel even more tired when I wake up. As much as I am a fan of sleeping, I am not a fan of doing it in excess precisely for that reason. It doesn't feel right.

Consequently, when I woke up about 10 minutes ago to slather parts of my body in hydrocortisone cream (damn you, eczema!), I told myself maybe it's a bad idea to just go back to sleep without a little break in the action (or inaction, as it were).

So here we are.

Even if I go back to sleep at 3:00 or so (which is likely), and wake up earlier than usual (which would be sometime around 6:00), I still will have slept too long. That means work is going to be absolutely insufferable. Boo.

Stupid sleep.

Thinking about this week could do it. I'm one test down, rest of the shit to go, and every time I think of all of it I get a bit worried. I think I'm only going to think about one thing at a time, like the fields homework I want to work on right now, and then the Alternate Energy homework that's due at 5, but I want to do it on my own computer, which is out for delivery... somewhere around here.

ugh TT.TT
Hard to believe my week free of duties is gone. *sigh* I've got night classes so now I don't know whether to take a nap myself! Right now I've got about 2-2.5 hours before I have to leave the house...guess a nap's out of the question.

Good luck with your zzz's. ;)

seriously darling, what kind of sheets do you have? you know my sympathy eczema gets simply out of hand when I hear that you are suffering. I believe eczema is an evil trick, sent to make people suffer needlessly, one which doctors erroneously diagnose as chronic and uncurable, and one which with the recognition and modification of only one environmental variable, can be overcome. Have you at least got prescription cortisol?

Bleh
I'm seriously suffering from sleep deprivation. I've always been able to shake it off in the mornings, but now it's actually starting to affect me physically. From now on...the computer shuts off at midnight.

I think part of the reason why I go insomniac at night is because I hate sleeping...if humans could do without it, I would rather us not sleep. Although, that would make cuddling all the more difficult...hmm....

I thought saying "boo" was my thing but now I'm seeing lots of people using it... :S

Does hydrocortisone really work...?

it seems that all I've wanted to do, as of late, is sleep. although I'm not sure why because I'm not stressing as much as you are. I am stressing though ... maybe I'm just in denial about how much. I'm the same way with sleep; if I get more than so many hours of sleep, I just can't seem to wake up for the entire rest of the day
