So, I have a bit of insomnia last night. Fall asleep around 1am and wake up at 2am. Wide awake, can't get back to sleep. So, I turn on the TV and start watching a movie. Six Days, Seven Nights, starring Harrison Ford and Ann Heche. I had heard bad things about it, so I figured I would nod off. Nope. Turns out it wasn't half bad. Ended up watching the whole thing. My only complaint is that David Schwimmer shouldn't have been in the movie. He acted too much like Ross, from Friends. The movie ended at 4:00am. Still can't sleep. Star Trek comes on. The original series. It's an episode called, This Side of Paradise. About halfway through, I feel myself finally start to drift off. It had nothing to do with the episode. It was one of the better ones and I was curious about the outcome. Finally, I feel sleep coming over me. I shut off the TV and drift off. For about an hour. Then some asshat's car alarm goes off. I don't know whose it was, but it was close. And, it kept going off. Come one!!! If it woke me, Mike and half the neighborhood up, why didn't it wake up the owner of said car? California law states that a car alarm has to stop after 3 minutes. Tell that to this car. So, I am wide away at 5:30. Exhausted and all tensed up. I did manage to finally get back to a fitful sleep. Hopefully, I will sleep better tonight.
Posted by Valkyre at October 6, 2008 10:54 PMYou know, I always have insomnia problems when the seasons change. When it first started warming up I couldn't get to sleep, and now that it's cooling down I am having trouble again. If I can tell I'm going to be restless I have to take Benadryl about two hours before I go to bed so that I'll be able to sleep. I wonder if it has to do with the change in sunlight hours.
