since moving in september, i've had such insomnia. this is especially odd seeing as i have a bad habit of falling asleep during some portion of any movie i go to see. and on the T. so why is it that when i crawl into my comfy bed at an hour at which it's reasonable to expect to be tired, i can't sleep? since i didn't actually fall asleep last night until 4:30-5am, when the alarm went off at quarter to 7, there was no way i was going to haul off to work. of course, i think the cause of last night's unsleepiness was threefold: coffee before class, added to getting worked up into a bit of a rage about my imcompetent professor who kept us after class for 15 minutes (which is a long time after a three hour class that's tacked onto the end of a regular work day). then i did some kickboxing to work out aggression, which, i guess at 10pm, was also not the smartest move. oh well. so i'm playing hookey. it's not like the work i do is, um, important or anything.

You're missing "Stompy Time" where workmen clank and stomp over your workspace.

It's big fun. :/

They're just in Thumpy Time now. I guess the glue will start in a bit.

Mmmm. Huffing.

Methinks I'm gonna have a burrito for lunch/dinner!

i think that my insomnia has improved lately, probably because i'm slightly less anxious than usual. i used to think that i had sleep apnea or something, but i think i just have bad habits. i also think that quitting stimulants has helped me sleep significantly, as well as getting more exercise, talking myself out of a beer after work, and writing out my schedule before i go to bed. of course, all these things make me a schmuck, or as my friend put it, "one of those weird people who reads what they eat". so the choice is up to you...schmuck or sleep. also regular bedtimes do wonders...you can get away with 6 hours of sleep that way.

and sometimes it's just weather or hormones. somebody finally tipped me off to the fact that some women get really tired depending on their cycle, which explains why some days i feel like i ran repeatedly into a brick wall. for that, taking a daily multivitamin and taking some extra vitamin B12 (mangoes) should help.
