Sleepless... but not really in Seattle.

I can't sleep.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep. What is it with Sunday night, anyway? Is it just me, or do any of you have trouble sleeping on Sunday night?

Good thing I get up at 4 anyway. But I've been awake for an hour and a half. Gah.

I used to... if that's any consolation.
Now I just have a great deal of trouble getting up on Mondays.

I do, that's why I'm a first-class jackass on Mondays. The other days of the week I'm just standard-issue jackass. On holidays, I'm USDA Prime jackass. (just so you know)

I think it's pretty common. Not that I'm saying you're perfectly normal or anything like that :)

Back when I was still able to sleep, Sundays were always an issue. I think it has to do with coming down off the weekend.

By the way, I'm living proof that a human can go weeks without sleep and still function. Kinda. Sorta. Ok, not really.

Hey, you got up earlier than I did today, and you're three time zones behind me!

Me? Trouble sleeping? (Almost) Never happens. You hate me, I know. Sorry.

Sleep is overrated. Gets in the way of anything else a person might want to do. I can't use more than four or five hours a night - anything more and I'm logy the next day.

I used to have that problem until I discovered gin....

Maybe you're stressin' about working the next day? Again, I recommend gin....

Good gawd sister! I hope you went to bed early and at least got a few hours of sleep before you woke up. Our Sunday is really your Thursday (off Tues and Wed) and we both work 12-13 hr. days on Sunday so no trouble falling asleep then. But Wed. night? Yes sometimes that's a problem. I think it's because we've just spent two days doing what we want to do and now (dammit) we are going back into what we have to do.

Maybe you can find time for a nap? I'm sure that Littlest E. wouldn't mind you taking a nap. :)

I hope you sleep well tonight.

I like Jim's idea!

Advil PM anyone? I swear by that stuff!!

I used to really have a hard time falling asleep on Sundays back when I worked in "Corporate America". I think it's normal to subconsciously stress about the upcoming week.

Now however, I just plain can't sleep regardless of the day of the week. Oh the joys of owning a small business ;-)

I hope you got a few winks of shut-eye!

Matt: Well if you wouldn't run 70 miles a week, maybe you could get up more easily?

Bloggy: You allow yourself to be an economy-class jackass somedays? Geez, I expect far more than that from you. ;)

TysGirl: I'm completely normal. I mean, I read your blog and everything! What?? Oh. OK, maybe that doesn't prove anything. ;)

Shawkey: Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins... just you wait! And nah, I couldn't hate you. Ever! No matter how soundly you sleep. But I WOULD wake you up. ;)

Nilbo: Pfffft.... silly Canadian, you're just saying that because you have to stay awake to stay warm up where you live.

Jim: Brilliant!! See? I need you. Glad you're back!

Ang: Yeah, I slept pretty well for about 4 hours. And don't look now, but I actually MIGHT get a nap today!!! Shhhh.... don't want to jinx it.

Shell: Thanks! I hope so too! If I find the sandman for Sundays, I'll send him your way for Saturdays. Deal?

TysGirl: That Jim? He's always got the right idea.

Smug: Hi and welcome! I heard that Advil PM is just advil with benadryl. True? I don't know, but a few more nights like last and I'll be finding out.

Sooze: Yeah, self-employed is awesome, eh? YIKES!! What were we thinking?!?!?!?!

But doing so allows me to follow my motto, "More Jackassery, More of the Time".

 
At 3:54 PM, Blogger here today, gone tomorrow said...

Benadryl...works every time.

You couldn’t sleep? On Sunday night? Expectations of Monday? Sad about the end of the weekend? Body not yet adjusted to the ending of Daylight Savings Time? Unresolved problems? If that list doesn’t keep you awake and squirming, my dear Eclectic, I can come up with more possibilities.

Good night and sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite.

Can't you shut up??? I'm trying to sleep here!!!

Bloggy: I can't keep up with these daily motto changes. I thought it was, "Putting the 'fun' in 'disfunctional'." ;)

HTGT: THIS is what I'm saying... plus? Costco sells a no-brand knock off for almost less than the cost of dirt, and it comes in a ginormous package.

Nick: Gee, aren't you the helpful little sleep fairy?! ;)

Limpy: Sleep? Oh no you don't... if I'm not sleeping, YOU'RE not sleeping. At least, that's usually how we play it here.

i have difficulty falling asleep most nights, sunday in particular.

hope you get a good nights sleep tonight :)

See...that is when you are supposed to wake up the hubs and...you know.

 
At 4:42 PM, Blogger mama biscuit said...

Ok, Jim's idea was good. I think in conjunction with William's idea.....we may be on to something here. Nothing beats drunk middle of the night sex!

 
At 6:45 PM, Blogger I'm not here. said...

Maybe you need to see Dr. Cuervo. He's a specialist y'know.
Hope you get some quality sleep soon. :)

 
At 10:28 AM, Blogger eclectic said...

Dawn: Thanks! Benadryl is my friend.

William: THIS is what I'm saying to Limpy earlier: if I'm not sleeping, ain't no one else in the room sleeping neither. :)

TysGirl: I KNOW!!

Mo/Dis: Jose's a sweet-talking bastard. He comes on all friendly, and then steals your wallet and kicks your ass.
