Sleepwalking for beginners

Standard

To add to my sleeping problems, I’ve started sleepwalking. I know I need exercise but this is a lousy way to getting a walk in. Last night I could’ve blown the house up. Apparently, I wanted a midnight snack. Through it in the microwave. I woke up as the microwave was popping and the minutes were ticking down. I stopped it at 1:13. I grabbed the bowl and burned my hands. How long was I microwaving a bowl of 7 crackers? God only knows. I’m thinking of putting some baby gates on at the kitchen doorway. Last week I ruined my moms calcium pills because I wanted a glass of milk and in a haze poured myself a nice glass into her pill bottle. I woke up before I got a sip of that.

This all is very maddening. Either I cant sleep or I’m causing potential health hazards by roaming the house in a deep sleep. This has never happened to me before. Any advice?

Sleepless on the natch!

Standard

I lied. I really wanted to write a nice lil blog filled with the guts and glory of my yesteryear but I have been having the absolute worst insomnia. For a girl that used to stay up nights at a time on a meth binge .. You’d think my body would be craving sleeeep! When I started this journey I slept for about a week straight. Of course I woke for meals and a true crime show here and there (I’m addicted to Paula Zahn, 48 hours and the like – my fav stories are about the guy you’d never expect maiming his family) I digress, after I got the sleepless nights outa my system I can’t get a restful night. It’s maddening! I’m up every hour scanning my DVR for a new show pertaining to my fascination mentioned above only to be freaked the fuck out by the dramatic music and dark and intense plot line – I try going back to sleep but refuse to sleep with my back to my bedroom door – I’m thinking irrational thoughts like maybe the guy who maimed his family broke out of jail and is stalking houses of people watching his show only to copycat his killings and make em look like a copycat even tho their the real deal. Hence this vicious cycle of sleepless nights and sleepy days. Did I mention I’m slightly neurotic and phobic?

I took a phenargan, hoping it’ll prompt some real REM. I’ll try to Write a meaningful blog post tomorrow. Yawn. Wish me luck!

Oh, I made this glorious dinner tonight (see picture below) Did I mention I’m
Sorta talented?
