sleeping and not
you know, it was a lot easier to get to sleep when i was
a) depressed and
b) not depressed because i was on paxil.
you see that my downfall, here, is being pretty good regardless of the medication i take. where "pretty good" refers to depression and not ability to get to sleep. :facepalm: i go to bed by midnight. i toss! i turn! i'm awake past two. i try to read myself to sleep. my brain can keep reading indefinitely. oh noes! it's three! i read until i'm actually tired--then am so exhausted that i take a nap the next afternoon... and am wide awake PAST three.
OTOH today despite staying up late i seem to be relatively alert. maybe napping is the solution after all.
except it really, really sucks to be lying in bed so bored that you deeply contemplate no less than four stories in three different fandoms, flirt with your original sf universe and even ponder your future in academia and the field of sociology.
