Enough already!

Dear body:

For the record, I'm getting really tired of waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep for an hour or more (usually more - like now, when I've been awake for 2 hrs).  Over a period of several days, this leaves me incredibly cranky and snappish.  Not to mention that it makes me feel fevery and dehydrated for several hours after the alarm goes off.  I wish you weren't thinking that this is the new normality. 

Should I promise to exercise more?  (That's hard to make myself do when I'm on the edge of exhaustion all day, by the by.)  Should I eat more?  Less?  Go back to playing Phoenix Wright before bed?  Pray tell, what do you want of me?

Yours truly,
Me

:( Sleep deprivation sucks. You have my sympathy - I wish I could offer more, like say useful advice, but nothing anyone suggested ever worked for me so I can't really count it in the "useful" category...

Eh, don't worry about it. I'm not doing too badly at the moment; I count myself lucky that I'm *just* tired and not incredibly cranky on top of it.

Hopefully soon, I'll get so tired that the fatigue forces me to sleep through the night. Now if I could only regain the trick of that a little more regularly...
