“Sleep, those little slices of death. How I loathe them.” – Egdar Allen Poe.<\/p>\n

“Sleep, those little slices of death. How I miss them.” – Me.<\/i><\/p>\n

I’ve never had a problem sleeping before. I’m a night owl, but I can’t stay up as late as I used to. If I had my way I’d stay up until 2am every night and get up around 9am — a cycle that unfortunately doesn’t gibe well with the 9-5 (give or take) lives most of us lead.<\/p>\n

At least three days this past week I got five hours of sleep or less. Last night was the worst; I slept from 10pm until around midnight, got up, and then slept from 4:30am – 6:30am. Friday was a multiple iced coffee day, calories and carbs be damned. I was so tired after work that I fell asleep in the passenger seat of the car on the way home and Susan had to come back out of the house and wake me up when she realized I wasn’t coming in on my own. I tried taking a nap before dinner but I just couldn’t fall asleep.<\/p>\n

My eyelids are drooping as I type, although that could be attributed to the fact that I just sat through the majority of the 1981 less-than-classic film Caveman, starring Ringo Starr, Shelly Long and Dennis Quaid. That’s enough to send anyone into lala land. <\/p>\n

I suspect my wonky sleep cycle can be attributed to stress about my upcoming job change. Hopefully things’ll level themselves out soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
