[sleep] Bitching, mostly

wispfoxHmm. My sleep schedule appears to be _completely_ fucked up. Beyond the point of my ability to fix it, I think, and almost certainly not jet-lag-related anymore. Probably an unfortunate combination of beginning-of-week jet-lag and my normal added difficulty with sleeping in winter.
I hope, very much, that I _do_ have sleep apnea, because this is ridiculous. And more or less normal for winter (although usually I manage to stop the trend of mostly not sleeping, or sleeping _only_ very restlessly, before it gets this bad).
My poor cat is likely to stop trying to share a sleeping space with me, soon. Which, considering how much he missed me, is pretty damn impressive.
So, yeah. Severely anti-social. Picture me having to fight from growling at anyone who comes to my cube to talk to me. IRC! Dammit! Not even going into my body's physical reactions to the lack of decent sleep...
Contemplating seeing if just not trying to sleep might work better than trying to sleep and either sleeping restlessly or brokenly all night. If nothing else, I figure I'll eventually pass out if I don't even try to sleep for a while.
I also hope that someone at Friday's massage/reiki share is able to help, somehow.
(on the plus side, I appear to as of yet not be picking up the evil cold bug that's going around. But I forgot my immune boosters, and won't be home tonight. Ooops)

Date: 2005-01-05 11:48 pm (UTC)What position do you sleep in?
I have obstructive sleep apnea (though I think I have a touch of central sleep apnea too... I've woken myself up 'holding my breath'). I use a CPAP at night that blows air in my nose to remind me to breathe while I'm asleep.
I hope they can find out what is disturbing your sleep.

Date: 2005-01-08 10:54 pm (UTC)sleep positions: back, sometimes with a pillow, sometimes without; curled up on my side with at least one leg pulled in close to my body; if having a _really_ difficult time sleeping, on my stomach.
And, yeah - I need to ping my doctor and get a different appointment now.
