Insomnia

Every once in awhile, I have insomnia. I can remember having it when I was around ten and I did not sleep for about two weeks. It seems like whenever I have it, there is no rhyme or reason to it. Now, I am going through it again. This time it started last weekend when I was up waiting for my husband and daughter to come home from a festival. They had been gone for four days and nights so I did not sleep well when they were gone. My readers now I love to take naps but since they were gone, it was just me and my seven year old son so I did not dare nap during those days.

I was really looking forward to sleeping well once they got home but they ended up not coming home until three a.m. I had tried to call him on his cell but after four days, it was not charged. I rarely call him but when I do, it seems like I cannot get ahold of him. I could have tried his sister but thought if she thought they should have been home, I would have her worried as well. I was frantic...I was so close to calling the highway patrol to see if there were any accidents.

Finally at 2:20 I got a hold of him and they were on their way. Relieved, I tried to go to sleep. I could not and did not until almost four. Now here it is five days later and I have not been asleep before two a.m. My son is also not sleeping. The other thing is I am not accomplishing a thing during the day because I am too tired. Am I pathetic or what? This better pass soon or I will become a permanent lump on the couch.
