Weird...

I seem to be turning into SuperLateNight Girl this week--this the the 4th or 5th night I've gone to bed at 2 or later. Granted, some of it earlier in the week was work-related--grading papers and writing them-- but the last few days it hasn't been. Maybe its this giddy rush of freedom I feel now that classes are officially over, even though I still have projects to finish. Some of the time I just can't sleep. I have been having major sleep cycle irregularities this semester, and now I think I understand just a hint of what {ljuser="gwynraven"} went through and still goes through...I feel slightly guilty for not being more sympathetic when she was going through it real bad a couple of years ago, but at the time I just had no clue what it was really like, because i nearly always fell asleep immediately upon my head hitting the pillow and stayed asleep all night. No longer...don't know if it is depression (though don't think so as it happens even when I don't feel depressed), meds side effects, stress, or just the fact that if i stay up past a certain point it becomes harder to go to sleep rather than easier. Or maybe it's too many afternoon naps. :)

try the over-the-counter sleep aids. Or melatonin -- it's usually available in the herbal medicine section. Both are usually pretty effective if it's just mild insomnia :) And good luck -- once you get into an irregular schedule it's really hard to break out of it. Believe me, I know *g*
