I've had a seriously bad case of insomnia over this month and it's on full blast tonight.

Like I just woke up at 2am feeling intense from work related stress, couldn't get back to sleep. took a sleep pill which somehow relaxed my sneezy sinuses but did not make me tired. Normally I fall asleep fine at night but I'll wake up quickly like this, within 2-4 hours, and then I'm stuck awake.

I work another 11 hour shift tomorrow so this really sucks!!
I've been laying with my eyes forced shut for an hour
:vanora_cry:

How the heck do you unwind from long work shifts where you only have two hours at home to quickly cook dinner, watch a show and clean up for bed just to rinse and repeat. So hard to maintain a clear head day after day. If it isn't work related stress, it's weather, or sickness, or sometimes for no dang reason. I just cant sleeeeep anymore!

My cat is super sweet though, she sleeps above my pillow and when i wake up from insomnia she gets super cuddly. ;;;; luv her

@koneko:
You know what... less sun makes a lot of sense. Being that I work long hours indoors I dont get enough sunlight on a daily, this may very well be a big factor to my bad sleep!
Maybe Ill take some outdoor breaks during sunny days XD just kinda stand in the lot like a weird person
