petite progress

I'm awake. I got up at 1pm. This would be late for anyone with a normal sleeping pattern, but for me this is an acheivement. This whole week, I woke up at 5pm, or later. I've been awake nights and asleep during the day. I have an appointment tomorrow for the sleep clinic. It's not a moment too soon. It's primarily for my untreated sleep apnea, but I plan to tell them about all the other sleep problems I've been having as well.

I tried to sleep last night. I got in bed around 3ish, and tried to read until I felt drowsy; the problem was, I never got sleepy. So, I got up and got online. Talked to a friend of mine, and fellow insomniac. Then I wrote. I finally went to bed at 9am. So, I only got 4 hours of sleep, but I gotta stay up, so I can begin to break the nocturnal cycle.

I need to get some coffee in me and take my meds. I feel pretty lousy physically. Ugh.
