Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was once, basically, awake for a month.
Actually, I got 2-4 hours of shitty sleep a night which was sufficient to sustain life but not sanity. Cass was nothing short of a saint until I got to the doctor. I've never been that bad since and I won't be without an Ambien stash ever ever ever ever ever ever ever again.
Once, on a road trip, I took a friend's Ativan which knocked me out nicely. It makes sense that anxiety is a big component of my insomnia. Once I have health insurance again I intend to discuss this with my doc.

Heh. I totally don't get insomnia because I have the opposite problem--I can't get ENOUGH sleep. I am ALWAYS ready for a nap (though naps don't work because I end up thinking "or I could just sleep til morning!"), and pretty much always able to sleep. (Especially "sleep longer", I'm not as bad about staying up, though occasionally....).
Woman! Have you done a sleep study? It's possible the sleep you're getting at night is shite.
Wonderful news, Perkins. Wonderful. Oh what a relief that must be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am as one with meara on the sleeping. I can always sleep. I probably need to sleep less. When I'm anxious about something, my usual way of dealing is to hide from it by falling asleep. I once fell asleep while my boyfriend was yelling at me. Pack for the nerve-racking trip tomorrow or fall asleep? ZZZZZ

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Congrats, smonster!!
A bit of good news for me today. A friend is creating a new webseries. She happens to think my album would work well as music in places and asked me if I would allow her to use it. I said yes, of course. I figured that'd be the end of it until the series actually launches whichwill probably be a couple months from now but she's just announced that my music will be used. Given that trying to plug my album has been a really uphill battle, it's super-nice to see it get plugged. She has far more followers than I do.

One of the (many!) reasons I love my naturopath MD is that she takes my insomnia issues seriously. She finally said "You're a life-long chronic insomniac. Seriously, take .5mg of Ambien every night. That's better than you be constantly sleep-deprived".
Let me tell you, this feeling well-rested thing? AMAZING. I had no idea!

Yay Erin's new doc!
And congrats, smonster! Whether or not you take it, it's great that they recognize your awesomeness.

I like sleep. Sleep is good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Woohoo, smonster! Good decision-making ~ma to you!
Yay, Erin! It's nice when your doctor has good sense *and* good ears.

Hee. I have this, and it's no typo. "I think I have, um, that thing. That I read about. It's deadly, you know. Ow, a pain."

“Not dead yet!”
I would love some sleep.
Unfortunately, it would seem since I had the Craxy o'Doom, sleep has been in short or shite supply. And taking anything to help me sleep leaves me quite moody the next day, so it's not like it's a big help.
And I cannot nap during the day. I have to be falling over exhausted (like yesterday) to catch a thirty minute nap.
This sucks.
