Anyone else remember high school years? Getting home from work after school, finishing off assigned work, then playing video games until 4 am, sleep two hours, walk back to school and restart. It really hasn't been so long, since then. Just a few years. Yet my body and sleep schedule have changed so much.
At first, I just stayed up late. Like, really, truly late. I couldn't sleep until around 4 am, then I'd crash until 2 pm.. Not good. There's a small sleeping human in the other part of the house that tends to like regular days, with a functioning mother, so that got kicked to the curb pretty fast. I was then prescribed a sleep aid... which turned me into a Romero-esque zombie all day, complete with bloodshot eyes and ludicrous moaning. Again, kiboshed. So now, I take a newer, slightly less heavy medication at around 8 pm, which for all intents and purposes seems to be working.. except for the early wake ups. My eyes pop open at 3 am and nothing can put me back to sleep, leaving me brighter eyed and more bushy-tailed than I had originally hoped at this hour, but at least I got some sleep during the normal hours. For the moment, I live on caffeine, Prozac, and a few hours of sleep. Even if it sometimes leaves me feeling artificially wired, I'm ok with that.
