Why, Oh Why Can't I Sleep Like a Normal Person?
So, it's not a news flash that my sleep activity has been a bit of a problem for me over the past year or so. Usually, I'm on the lesser side of the sleep equation. Lately, I've flipped to the greater side and that seems to be even worse.
Last night... I slept 17 hours. That's like a baby coma. I woke up several times during that time and felt exhausted the entire time. I've been finding myself getting 7-8 hours of sleep lately but wake up feeling exhausted. It's not a sleep apnea thing... but it's like the sleep I get is useless.... it's like teasing my body.
It's quite likely that I'll end up avoiding sleep for fear that I might feel worse than if I didn't or oversleep and miss something.
Sigh.
Anyway... Eva (my girl dog) is having sleep issues too. She's taken to barking in her sleep. It's not a loud bark, it's kinda cute. But it wakes her up and she looks around like, "who's barking while I'm trying to sleep?" Then she lays her head down and does it again.
In the meantime... surgery looms... 21 days, 15 hours, 40 minutes.
There is certainly a level of anxiety growing there. I can only guess, but I imagine that will grow as that cut date approaches. I'm very thankful that a good friend will be helping me get through the tough days immediately prior to the surgery.
