Like Sleeping Beauty With Little Pills

I have not slept restfully in … weeks? Months? It’s not that I don’t sleep – I do. In fact, I sleep quite a bit on the weekends as best I can and end up taking naps on Saturday and Sunday. No, I’m not sick. It’s because I’m just not working something like 55-60 hours a week between Monday and Friday. Plus about another 5-8 on the weekends usually. It’s just a lot of hours and if I want to enjoy what’s left of my day after my workday and do things like play Jeopardy! with JJ, romp with Roxy (no I didn’t intend for the alliteration, it just sort of happened – weird coincidence) and eat dinner, not to mention ride my spinning bike or go running, I just end up being really tired. Last night I took 2 Benadryl and slept the most restful sleep I’ve had in, well, however long I said I hadn’t slept well before. And before, it’s not that I didn’t sleep through the night, it’s just that I seemed to be incapable of shutting my brain off so I’d have weird dreams that I’d wake from, and on and on. I’m off … coaching, cleaning my classroom, and then home again home again to do those things like play Jeopardy and romp with roxy and eat.
