Well, I mostly did. Didn't make it to shul. Got up three times. and fell back into bed all three times. I finally persuaded myself to get up and get dressed around 4pm.
Last night was miserable. I was tired, yawning, and ready for beddy-by. Took my night meds, and collapsed into bed. And tossed. And turned. And the restless, twitching of the legs started. Sometimes the pill doesn't work. Why, I haven't figured out. So, after a couple hours, I got up and took another, different pill that's supposed to work. Plus a capsule of quinine sulfate for the muscle cramps.
And tossed. And turned.
So, I ran a tub of hot water, and almost immediately the twitches stopped. And I went to sleep. Yeah, in the tub. Megan came by about 4:30 am, found me fast asleep in the tub and WOKE me. She helped me climb out of the tub and dried me off. By this time I was so dopey I would have gone to bed wet and the jammies left hanging on the doorknob.
So I've been going around in a fog all day--when I was awake. I've been struggling to stay out of bed, so I won't wake up at 2:00am and not be able to go back to sleep.
My sleep pattern lately hasn't been a pattern. Some nights I sleep fairly well, and others hardly at all. And the dreams have been weird.
Do I need sleep therapy clinic?
Shalom

on a serious note... I too think, this is rather dangerous to fall asleep in the bath. you should be more careful now, when you know this might happenned.
Hope you feeling better and your dreams all turned into fairy tales, like pumpkins ;-)
Sorry about your sleep. Maybe have to START with the bath before bed!
You know, I think I do want to get down to just the necessities. I want few things, little clutter. When I move to a new place, hopefully my permanent home for the rest of my life, I want to start fresh. I am so tired of *things*. Even when I do get a real home, I doubt I will have many things. What things I do have will be things I love. Simplicity . . . that is what I want.
I do want places to put things .. . CLOSETS. . . which I am sorely missing here.
Well, off to get something accomplished to the end of getting organized!
Thinking of you,
Love,
Anne
Hope your sleep patterns get more regular soon!
And I spend way too much time surfing!

YES, a sleep clinic IS what you need!
You've been having a miserable time of it, and it's so hard to function after days of broken sleep.
Aren't restless legs awful? I get them too, so does my daughter.
I hope you get your sleep pattern back...
Gentle hugs
