Pill popping sleep junkies, jonesing for a wink.

Typed like someone who has never dealt with chronic insomnia?

I am a shameless no-insomnia no-pain junkie. Get me there without drugs, and I'm all over it.

So far it's still pills. And a whole lot of IV.

---

It always takes at least a week for me to adjust to DST. The kids, too.

---

Yeah, sleep requires lack of pain, or at least temporary reduction in pain.

I know it's a reference to something but I can't put my finger on it. I keep coming back to "white collar conservatives, flashing down the street" and I know that ain't it.

Stephanie so much ~ma for Ellie and for you and the family. Very scary. HUGS.

I call those my stupid pills. They make me so stupid, I just can't stand it

Yep, that's Flexeril for me, too. Stupid and incoherent and then passed out. They work well, though, so I got that going for me.

I'm going to assume Hec didn't intend offense, but yeah, chronic insomnia can really change your perspective on sleep meds.

I just now finished all of my comments and grades and posted them ready. PHEW. Now I just have to teach all week. Feh.

I do not take sleeping pills (yet), but I do not judge. Insomnia sucks. If pills work for you, more power to you. So far, I work pretty ok on 4-5 hours of sleep. If I start getting less than that on a regular basis, I'll look for a script of my own.

Sleep tight my lovely bitches! Be pain free. In the mean time, dream of sweet sundials taking their pointy ends and bashing the heads of the idiots who want to stray from natural time for an even longer period of the year.

I did a lot of sewing today. Made a sling based on a baby-wearing design for holding Harvey, as he has been spending so much time wrapped up with me in a shawl I got for Christmas that he has started to scratch at my other clothes to get inside them if I'm not wearing it. Daniel made use of it, and Harvey was sooooooo happy in there. Happy, happy little half-marsupial cat. Also, he seemed to like it when I wore it with him, as I was sewing. He kept trying to grab the pants I was mending.

What, Harvey, spoiled? Nah....

There is no "natural time." Time is a human construct. Before artificial light, people worked from dawn to dusk, so in a sense, they were always on daylight savings.

I love daylight savings, but the transition does suck.

I should be going to bed , not happening yet. If I thought about it earlier I would have taken an ambien -- but since I take the CR this is way to late for that....
