My battle with insomnia

Yes, I am being a little dramatic with the title of today's post but life is too mundane if I don't exaggerate the few small or minor tragedies in my life.

If you suffer insomnia from time to time, you get a little worried the first evening you are unable to sleep.  The worry intensifies if you are still unable the sleep the following night.  During your insomnia episode, you would want to talk to somebody but everyone is asleep.  You feel very sad and angry at yourself that you cannot sleep.

During the day, you try to function but obviously you don't function as well.  You get irritated easier.  Yet, you cannot really let others know because you don't want their pity or hear about their solutions.  It is not that you don't value others opinions or thought.  It just gets confusing because that person may make your body work more than it can handle.  My body I mean every single part of your body, including your mind.

Luckily, now that I am experienced with insomnia, I am able to find out what is wrong with me and what I need to do to get to sleep.  I slept very well as a result of listening to my body and attending to its needs. Like finding an environment where I can get to a resting stage.

If you are not well, get yourself to a place you are familiar with and feel safe in so you can attend to yourself appropriately.
