Sunday Night: Went to bed at 9:30p (LONG weekend). Woke up around 2a feeling strangely hyper. Made self stay in bed for a while. Not sure how long, but non-trivial. Got back to sleep without getting up. Awoke with alarm at 8a for work.
Monday Night: Went to bed at 11:30p. Woke up around 3a feeling strangely hyper. Stayed in bed for about 30 mins. Gave up when leg started twitching uncontrollably. Got up. Wrote this post. Will probably try to do an hour or so of work, and then deduct that from my "on-task" time tomorrow (errands prevent going into office). I... think that's a reasonable thing to do?
It seems like this sort of thing is happening more frequently, but it also feels... familiar. I know I regularly have a problem with my brain waking up after way less sleep than my body needs, though rarely in the middle of the night. Could be that I'm just paying more attention to these things in terms of general patterns, though. A few days ago I recalled something I had forgotten. In high school, whenever someone asked me how I was doing, my default answer was "tired". High school. Go Team Fundamental Issues. =:(
edit: 7:30 am. Still up. Huge emotional breakdown after a streak of improvement. Spilled emo in places I'm now afraid I shouldn't have. Still trying to sleep. If I do, alarm will go off in a few hours for my therapist appointment. What the fuck, Life. What the fuck.
