I stayed up & did all my work so I can get some much needed rest today & dammit all I want is to find a comfortable position that doesn't make my legs hurt or for the medicine to work or for the muscle relaxer to knock me TF out or for the Biofreeze to work! #fml#chronicpain
Fuuuuuuccccccck!!!!!!
One of those days that I'm glad I documented my frustrations with falling asleep.
Because now I can project the minimum amount of time I need to stay asleep while the house is quiet.
Of course I have no idea what awakened me but we're going to gloss right over that for another day.
It's weird because I don't wake up because someone knocked. I wake up then one to three minutes later someone calls, knocks, texts.
It's either my sensitivity or the (new) anxiety.
My sister observed what I long suspected and later confirmed in a sleep study; I'm an incredibly light sleeper.
I was not safe as a child, for at least half my childhood years ending when I becane a teen.
So anyway. Recording this helped soothe me. I hope it encourages other people whose sleep issues contribute to their illness(es) to explore their sleep issues.
Knowing when I have trouble sleeping, pondering why, looking for these answers has helped bit by bit over the last decade. It may even lead to a health breakthrough.
Friends, Romans, Country ass folks? This week all #myspoons threads will be cross-postedto @WeAreDisabled.

Damn if coffee doesn’t help me more than hurt. #myspoons
I wonder if getting out of the habit of drinking coffee was a daft choice as a #spoonie with multiple fatigue conditions.
Once my body let me get out of bed today, I figured, let me get coffee while I'm up. And wow.
It didn't fix everything (I’m definitely depressed and need a therapist) but damned if I'm not actually getting things done for the first time in 3 weeks.
