Shattered

All I want to do is sleep but every time I go to bed at the moment I end up just lying there for hours on end feeling completely awake. No amount of trying to relax or clearing my mind works. If I get up I feel tired. If I go back to bed I feel awake again.

Apparently it's abnormal for it to take more than half an hour to fall asleep. As long as I can remember it has always taken more than half an hour to fall asleep.

Apparently it's abnormal to lash out with any limb s during the night. For as long as I can remember I've been kicking walls, punching things off bedside tables and elbowing things during sleep. Sometimes it wakes me up, sometimes it wakes people in the next room up.

Apparently it's abnormal to wake up with a dry mouth. Most mornings I can hardly breathe my mouth and throat are so dry.

...in fact, most of this list of sleep disorders applies to me. Screw it. I find it hard to believe that I suffer from apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy and periodic limb movement disorder. Stupid bloody online quizes. I'm surprised it didn't also come with a cute little logo with the HTML to add to my website so that others can see which sleep disorder I "am".

Well I guess I'd better give it another go. No sense in sitting here doing nothing.

Oh, and in other news, I think I've caught Liz's cold :(
