Sleepiness



I'm so tired of being tired. I have now reached a level of desperation and am taking sleeping pills. The over the counter ones don't work anymore. Now I'm going straight for the prescription. Saturday night I took two. I was totally asleep by 9:30pm but then awake at 7am, which is a long time but it still doesn't work out because for the previous few nights I only had 3 hours of sleep so one night of good sound sleep only makes me want more. Today is going to be the hypochondriac me coming out. My teeth hurt. I think that I have figured out that I am not taking enough calcium and this is the problem. I had been drinking soy milk a lot and then eating green leafy veggies. Some how I skipped out on the milk for awhile though and now I am trying to get in a whole bunch of calcium. I choked down plain soy milk last night, I have to go and buy some chocolate today. Then I had 4 caltrate chewy things today(I have no idea what you call them!) Then I took a sleeping pill last night at 9pm. I suppose it worked but it only does me well if I am not disturbed throughout the night. Someone called me at 10pm and that was it for the rest of the night. My teeth ached and I tossed and turned all night. At 3:30am I finally got up and took 5 acetaminaphine. Which I am sure has caused me to be even more tired. I popped two more this morning at 7 and then when I got to work I took two Tylenol. God, I need that soy milk. I am debating on whether or not just to go home until noon and sleep but then that will fuckme up and I won't be able to sleep tonight. Why is it that I just can't be totally healthy and fine?! Don't say it, it isn't the vegan thing. I feel really good about that. I do know though that I have problems every spring with sleep. So this year I thought that I would combat it with a trip to Mexico, that didn't work though so I am left to lie awake in bed night after night thinking because my damn mind doesn't turn off either!
