I’ve been working a lot lately, and my head has been so full at night from work and church and everything else that it has been hard to sleep. Also, we are going to try to move daily prayer meetings to the morning soon.
Yesterday while driving to work, I almost fell asleep in the middle lane. I sorta started awake and saw that I had slowed down to 50mph, and was drifting to the right.
Then, at work, I felt achy, and my head was fuzzy and felt like it was being squeezed. I didn’t think I would be much use to the company, so I left, and went home and hit the pillow for 4 hours. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a nap that long w/o staying up all or most of the night just prior. I got less dizzy as the day went on and by the evening I was able to get some work done that I had brought home. I’m still a little weak and very tired. I don’t think I’ve ever been blasted with some 12 hr kind of thing like that before. Usually when I’m sick enough to go home from work (or stay home from work) I’m out for a few days.
Some days I think it isn’t fair that I know all these people that do OK w/ 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Cuz if I don’t get 7 to 8 I’m gonna be pretty tired, and 5 to 6 more than one day in a row makes me almost worthless. I really do wish I could get by with less sleep.
The winter in MN is starting to creep in this week. Might snow tomorrow or Thursday. I hate the winter, and the cold darkness it brings. Makes me wish I were a bear and could sleep through the whole thing.
