Must Sleep
In my old age I seem to be developing into an insomniac, unfortunately, and right now I have it pretty bad. It's definitely stress-related, and I've always had some trouble sleeping when I'm stressed, as do most people from time to time. But this is far worse than normal.
It started Monday night, when I might have gotten an hour's worth of sleep. I lay there awake until about 4:30, then my housemate woke me up at 5:30 when she got up to do field work, and I never got back to sleep. I couldn't sleep Tuesday night either, even after a dose and a half of Sominex. I had to cancel a seminar I was supposed to give in Chapel Hill because I didn't feel like I could make the drive, or produce a coherent sentence even if I did.
So with the pressure of the seminar off, and being so sleep-starved, I thought I'd collapse easily last night. But I didn't. I did get to sleep eventually, but it wasn't until at least 3:00 AM, and I must have woken up a dozen times between then and 8:00.
If I don't sleep tonight I'm going to try and get a prescription for some Halcyon or Valium or something.

Or, develop a kick-ass alter-ego who starts a string of underground fight clubs. (If you haven't seen the movie, SEE IT).
People keep telling me I need to see that. The other movie people tell me I need to see is that Big Fat Greek Wedding movie. My reaction to both of them has always been that they sound way too testosterone/estrogen based for me, but what the hell. I'll put 'em both in my Netflix queue.
