A cat may be stolen of its grace, they say it's just a matter of time and place...

So talking to Rizzy earlier, I finally realised why the hell my brain hasn't been working well the past week or so. I haven't actually been sleeping for the past week or so. I'll go to take a nap, but the best I'll get out of that it a sort of half-aware fog, and when I actually try to sleep, I'll be awake for hours and then slip into a vague doze that I'll wake up from if the dog gets up, or Evie moves, or there's a noise outside...

I don't even know what to do about it, besides the possibility of drugging myself with Benadryl so I pass out - which doesn't get me actual sleep, just a few hours of unconsciousness, but maybe if I could get to sleep... I don't know.

It doesn't help that we've been out of coffee for a while now. I'd say this could not possibly get more annoying, but... then it would. I'm not going to tempt the universe.

Rrrh. *cuddles* ♥ I used to have serious sleeping issues and I can't remember what I did to get rid of them other than taking Lunesta and even then I... Don't think it worked all that well. Ngah. I know how bad not being able to sleep properly sucks, since I'm one of those people who it takes three hours to fall asleep, even when I'm about to fall over to fall asleep.

*loves on* *and sends good vibes*

I don't know if having caffeine would help any, but I can run to the store in a bit and get coffee, at least.

I hate to say it, but maybe if you don't nap, that'll help you fall asleep when you need to. Or, y'know, letting you nap for as long as you'll stay asleep. I know it's annoying, but maybe that'll help, y'know?

I will sacrifice my sleep for you! Because clearly that will solve all the problems ever. (I sleep a ridiculous amount. So. Um. You can have my naptime on Tuesday? Because I already took my nap today. I'm sorry!)

<3 <3 <3 If I had any real advice I would try and share it with you. But. Yeah. *snuggles*

Urrrgh. Sounds like my life for the past month. NOT FUN. And the sleeping pills my doctor prescribed just knock me out--I don't feel rested afterward.

...I'm totally unhelpful. BUT I FEEL YOUR PAIN. DX

...urghle. Would you like me to steal my roommates Big Book of Natural Remedies and look up insomnia for you? 'cause I can see what it says...
