Insomnia

I hate it, end of! It's after three am, I can't sleep, so I'm blogging. I've been in my bed for six hours, and nothing. I'll forget that I've got NaNoWriMo to work on, or that I've got an Irish essay and a history exam question both due on monday, then I might be able to sleep! But because I'm not good at occlumency (for all you Harry Potter fans) and I'm not practised at translating 'Ulysses'(The James Joyce book) into different languages like the Cullen clan is, (Twilight Reference) I must deal with insomnia. There is something to be said for being a vampire and not having to sleep!
I just get so fed up of not being able to sleep sometimes. It's almost my birthday, and if someone asked me what I want for my birthday, I'd probably say sleeping pills right now. Grr. And I would hate to be dependant on medicine, unless it was life saving.
I'm currently on around 7000 words on NaNoWriMo, and if you want to add me as a writing buddy, my username is Xparawhorextwerdx and I'm in the Dublin region, and also Buffalo. But I'm simply in Buffalo so that I can slag off all the people from Buffalo who think that they can beat Dublin in the Word War. Dublin is however, coming second in the All Ireland Word War, with Connaught coming fourth, amazingly! But Onyva has only started working, and I am actually shaking in my boots. Although that could be from fatigue! The All Ireland leaderboard looks like this: Ulster, Dublin, Leinster, Connaught, Munster. Now I just have to write like I did today (2000 words) and I might actually win! In all honesty, I doubt I'll win, but it's fun to try anyway.
This has actually turned out rather long, so I shall say goodbye and happy blogging!

Insomnia's the worst: I hope you got some sleep!

My doctor tells me 'no coffee all day after lunch' but all I could do was switch to decaf. It doesn't help. And you're right, pills have their own set of problems.

Obviously, the solution for us is a nice long holiday in the sun somewhere. A warm beach and the soothing sound of the ocean should do it.

I wonder if the HSE would pay for it...as "therapy"? I'll ask Mary, first thing Monday morning.

Oh, please ask! The upside was that I actually got homework done instead of NaNo, and then got another 600 words. Mwahahaha! And surprisingly I don't even drink coffee, I'm a green tea girl.
