Another Update On My Sleep Issues

I posted a couple of weeks ago here and here about my terrible bout with insomnia.� After those two nights without sleeping, I did finally sleep the next night all night.� But then the night after that (which would have been Thursday night), I only slept about three hours.� We were leaving that Friday to take our son away for the weekend to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA.� I really, really wanted to have enough sleep because I wanted to be in good shape for him for the weekend.� With my lack of sleep that whole week, I was wondering whether or not I would spend most of my time in the hotel room.

I was very tired the day we left but I did make it through the day.� That first day, I managed to lie down for a couple of hours and I slept some.� I slept pretty good while at the hotel that entire weekend.� I typically never sleep at a hotel.� I was awake many times both nights but I did fall back to sleep.� So while the sleep wasn’t constant, I was still sleeping some.�

Since then, I have been sleeping pretty good and it’s like my body is now trying to catch up.� I could sleep round the clock if I were able to!� It is such a weird illness, isn’t it?� I hear of a lot of ME/CFS patients who do sleep most of the time.� I am totally opposite of that.� The only times I really sleep good is after periods of no sleep.�

Now that summer vacation is here, my son has been keeping me busy and we have been doing a good bit of running around.� It takes a toll on me at the end of the day but I enjoy having him here also.� I wish that he had another sibling (no, that is not a hint that I want to get pregnant because that is definitely out of the question!) around his age who could keep him company when I’m not up to it.�

We have rounded up a few phone numbers of my son’s friends and he has his little nieces that he can play with this summer, though.� A�friend of mine for over 20�years had my son and I up to swim in her pool this week and that was fun.��I would love to have the two granddaughters visit us more often.� I physically and mentally can’t handle more than one child, though.� They are good girls – very well behaved, but kids are kids.� The constant running in and out, the tattling, etc. just works on me terribly.�

I guess I got off topic there!� That is so easy for me to do!� Back to the sleep issue, for now I’m sleeping again.� I will take it while I can get it.� It just usually doesn’t last long enough, however.�
