How Did You Sleep Last Night?

10pm to 1am (1am to 2am awake, as ususal, errgh) then 2am to 6am = seven hours. Not bad, but I sure wish my sleep wasn't interrupted and I don't know why it is. I'm going to take some sleeping pills this weekend and try to catch up.
 
I wake up throughout every night I sleep but I generally get 10 hours, just not straight through. I go to be early. Sometimes I fall asleep quickly, sometimes I don't. But my body needs to lay down, so I lie down. I do not wake up, no matter how early I go to bed, until after 8. Part of my illness makes me sleep this way. As long as I don't toss and turn too much at night, I'm okay.
 
My sleep was restless last night. I didn't fall asleep until almost 3am. It feels like I was thinking all night long. In fact I remember that I kept waking myself up thinking a phrase over and over again. It's phrase that I say to myself when I'm awake to thought stop. Maybe in a way that's a good thing? But that also means I'm awake enough in my sleep to monitor my thoughts while I'm sleeping? And that means I really do think in my sleep? How exhausting. I woke up a couple of times early this morning but I was able to fall back to sleep. I finally woke up at about 10:15am. Now I feel as tired as I did when I went to sleep last night and my neck and head hurt.
 
Insomnia is driving me nuts at the moment. Didn't get to sleep till around 2.30, then I was awake again at half five (actually three hours in one go is quite good, I usually sleep in one or two hour blocks at a time at most) awake half an h our or so then before sleeping again but had to be up at seven! *yawn*
 
I am on a pain med, for my back, that has the added benefit of helping me to get deep sleep. A deep sleep that seems to last for hours when in fact it has been only several minutes.

So I slept really good last night for a change, :happy: what a difference it makes to awake feeling rested...*(I no longer take that for granted).
