case of the wednesdays...

new pants. they're a little less stretchy where they ought to be, but i'm making it work (i.e., GIANT, VERY SECURE BELT).





Have always had a lot of trouble with sleep, ever since I was a kid, in addition to the occasional migraine, and a series of seizures that I never told anyone about until I got caught in the middle of one at about age 12. My mom yelled at me and took me to a specialist, and I never had one again, even though it was never treated. The sleeping problems and the migraine stuck around, however, and now that the migraine is merely an intermittent bother, I have trouble sleeping every night.
I used to take prescription sleeping meds as melatonin gave me frightful nightmares that would, essentially, prevent me from sleeping altogether, thereby defeating its own purpose. Changes to my diet, my work schedule, my 'exercise' habits, etc. all remained fruitless, and at 23, I am perpetually exhausted. Coffee and tea are my sole drugs now, as my physician refused to write me a script for zolpidem. It's becoming a bother, now, with greater responsibility at school and at work (which I've suddenly lost my tolerance for altogether). I'm not sure what to do, but every morning it gets harder and harder and harder to get out of bed at 7 and crawl home beaten at 9.
So, pardon my horrible faces. :-) And giant hair.
Anyone else have any of these perpetual demons?
