Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Over the years I've done my fair share of complaining about insomnia on this blog. Hell, I do it in person. I'm tired lots of the time and that makes me generally very cranky.

I'm often jealous of people who report sleeping until 11 on the weekends, or sleeping too long and having a headache. I don't understand how people don't wake up instantly at dawn. It's like being ostracized out of some super-exclusive club.

The month of December was particularly crappy in the sleeping department. I slept an average of three hours a night. I tried not drinking any alcohol at parties, I tried drinking wine at night. I went on long walks, I did yoga, but alas, there was just no sleep to be had.

But last night people - last night was different. I was out until 12:30, came home, took a shower, checked my email, and then went to bed. The next thing I remember, light was streaming in through the window. I figured it was dawn. I had a headache, was really thirsty, but generally felt kind of foggy. Then I looked at the clock and saw it was 10:58! I slept nearly TEN HOURS and have a headache from sleeping too much! I'm in the club!

I evidently woke up at some point during the night, because when I woke up this morning, the heat was off in the house. But I must have fallen right back asleep, because I don't remember doing it.

One giant cup of coffee later, I'm still pretty foggy. But I'm hoping this will clear up as the day goes on, and I'm hoping I can oversleep on Sunday too!
