Having or not having enough sleep the night before is the single best indicator of how I'll react to things during the day. Some people think needing sleep is wimpy and not sleeping is being "tough". yeah okay. I’m with you on the sleep!

Pain that wakes me up and no sleep til the wee hours of the morning give rise to the sun. I usually get on the computer because it at least takes my mind off of how much I want and need sleep. I don't think people understand the severity of sleep deprivation. There is a reason governments use it to torture prisoners. And it can really mess up things in the body...things that are natural become unnatural. I am not a fan of sleeping pills as I don't think they are natural for me and they leave me just as tired as when I wasn't sleeping. So, all this just to say I understand and I wish there were something I could do to help. Prayer is all I have to offer. And a little Ativan. That might do it. Yep. Just might.
