No Wonder I’m Always Tired

I went to bed late last night because I was working and didn’t want to stop until I was finished.

Midnight rolls around and I’m all, “Holy Cow, I should really get some sleep.” So I crawl into bed and within minutes my tired body is at rest.

Thirty minutes later I’m awake because I have rhinitus and need to blow my nose for the 80-millionth time that day.

Forty minutes after that, I’m awake because OMG, I really, REALLY have to pee.

At 2:30 a.m., I wake up thirsty. VERY THIRSTY. So I down a glass of water and then try to go back to sleep.

Then, at 3:40 a.m., I have to pee. AGAIN.

I finally get back to sleep only to hear my husband’s alarm clock go off at 5:15 a.m. Poor guy had to work early.

He quickly shuts off that blaring disturbance and I continue to drift in and out of sleep until my alarm goes off at 6:00 a.m.

I thought I set it for eight. I guess I was so damn tired last night that the 6 looked like an 8.

And I wonder why I’m always freakin’ tired? Duh.

SERIOUSLY, Dana. Stop it. You’re bringing back scary memories. It makes me crabby just THINKING about it.

Oh Dana, I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing only because I still have nights like that and I’m not pregnant! I never did until after my first, but I guess the mom in me can no longer sleep an entire night anymore without some medicinal help.

Hoping you get a good night’s rest soon!

I’m a redhead and nothing is different about me.
