  • One person’s insomnia is another person’s writing time

    25 May 2011 » 1 min read about Personal & Family

    Or, as in this case, they are both the same person: me. I’m not sure exactly what it is. I think it might be the heat. Could also be the congestion, or the fact that my brain has been churning on this story. I managed to get some sleep between 11pm and 1am, but haven’t…

  • What a pain in the shoulder!

    18 Apr 2007 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I had trouble falling asleep last night but at least I know why. First, I had random echoes of what I was reading running through my head. This happens to me from time to time when I read a lot on a particular day. It doesn’t happen often but I am resigned to it when…

  • Sleep at last

    11 Apr 2007 » 1 min read

    I did get sleep last night. I was in bed at 8 PM, when it was still light out. I turned out the light at 8:20 and I was out. I woke up bleary-eyed to my alarm at 4:20 AM. I was still groggy enough when I got into the office at 5:40 than I…

  • And so I’m starting to finally feel sleepy…

    Yes, at 7:15 PM, I’m finally starting to feel sleepy. But I’m not taking any chances tonight. I’m going to sleep and I’ve helped myself in that direction by taking some NyQuil now so that by the time I head off to bed (not very long from now), I’ll be ready to collapse. My guess…

  • No sleep

    10 Apr 2007 » 1 min read

    I read for about an hour and began to feel sleepy. So I turned out the light and proceeded to toss and turn. And toss and turn. And toss and turn. About 20 minutes ago I gave up (not without some frustration). I’m dressed (for the gym), going to have some breakfast, and then heading…

  • Insomnia, night #2

    10 Apr 2007 » 1 min read

    Yes, it’s 2:26 AM . I managed to sleep from about 9:30 until midnight, and I have been up ever since, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. I decided that I would get up and read for a while (and have a glass of chocolate milk) to see if either act as a soporific.…

  • Insomnia

    Granted, I stayed up late to watch the premier of The Sopranos and Entourage, even though I had to be up at 4:20 AM and even though I was TiVoing the shows. I am a supplicant to instant gratification, what can I say. But something went terribly wrong in my efforts to actually fall asleep…

  • Late night

    20 Mar 2007 » 1 min read

    I had a rare late night for a “school” night last night. (I still think of Monday nights as school nights even though I’ve been out of school for nearly 13 years now.) When I got home, I watched Battlestar Galactica and then I watched The Road To Bali. While doing that, I was chatting…

  • Long night, little sleep

    04 Jan 2007 » 3 min read about Work & Career

    For some reason, I had trouble sleeping last night. A lot of trouble. I went to bed around 9:30 (because I could sleep in until 5:30 this morning since I’m working out this afternoon instead of this morning). I was pretty tired when I turned out the light but I couldn’t fall asleep. At first,…

  • Trouble sleeping

    30 Jul 2006 » 1 min read

    It’s 4:48 AM and I’m having some trouble sleeping. I woke up about half an hour ago and haven’t been able to get back to sleep since then. Partially, it may be because it’s a little too hot in here (the central air is on, but it’s still kind of hot in my room and…

    Well, I didn’t sleep well, but I did finally fall asleep last night sometime between 1:30 and 2:00 AM. It was a fitfull sleep, but I managed and was up at 5:40 this morning without too much trouble.

  • Sleepless

    10 Jul 2006 » 1 min read

    For the first time in a really long time, I can’t sleep. I don’t feel tired. My mind is more active than usual. Plus, I napped during the day yesterday and today, which can’t have helped the situation. It’s been so long since this has happened that I really don’t know what to do. I…
