Sleepless in Olympia

It is 0145 Monday morning, what am I doing awake? I have had several sleepless nights since my cyclic episode that started three weeks ago. Maybe after I write I will settle down enough to sleep. I hope so, it is worth a try. Some times I forget to take my night time medication and that will keep me from sleeping but I know I took my medication tonight right on time at 8pm. I like to take my medication between 8 and 9 at night any later and I fall asleep much later. I don't care for that much the later I fall asleep the more likly I am to sleep the next day. Some times I sleep all day I hate that what a waste of time to sleep your day away. I have medication to help me sleep but then then next day is lost because I am so sleepy I can't do anything. It doesn't matter how early I take my sleeping aid I sleep the next day away. What is hard is when I have to drive Lafe to the bus in the morning I can be so sleepy that it is trecherous driving him there and comming home. I'm always glad when I make it back and get to crash in my chair. No pun intended. lol I'm having trouble focusing now sad thing is is that when I quit I'll wake up;

I love to sleep in my chair I have an overstuffed recliner and it is so comfortable. You see I had a spinal fusion a L5-S1 and I can only lay flat for a short period of time before I hurt too much. Some times when I have slept longer than a few hours in my bed I can hardly stand up and move. I never have that trouble when I sleep in my chair.

I'm going to close now and hopfully get some sleep, if not I'll be back. For now though it is time to rest. Good night
