[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)

Re: Ah ha!
Date: 2005-01-08 10:58 pm (UTC)white noise: have used white noise for years and years. Humidifier in winter, fan in summer.
awareness: I _never_ sleep through alarms, and it's unusual (although not impossible, if I'm used to it) for me to not wake up if people are moving around near me.
Aspirin & milk: Hmm. I don't have either one right now. Is there any concern about excess aspirin? I think there is for other pain killers, so... And I don't _like_ milk much, but it's worth a shot.
Temperature: Hmm. I tend to prefer to be warm at night. I wake up if I'm too cold. If I'm too warm, I just kick off some of my covers. Then again, the temp in my apartment is ~60 all winter, unless someone is feeling especially cold.
Nap: difficult to do when I work a 9-5-type job. But noted.
I don't do non-sleep or sleep-prep type things in bed when it's time to go to sleep, but I do if it's not. Bed is comfy... I wonder if the time of day matters for that?
