On Sleep and Waking
I woke up at 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep.
Oh, I tried. And you'd think I'd have stayed asleep, what with sleeping poorly almost every other night this week, yet still having to wake up at 7 to go to work.
But no...
The main culprit is probably a toothache that's been bugging me for a while. Cracked upper molar. The dentist is supposed to start fixing it on the 15th, which means two more weeks of overdosing on Advil. If my kidneys don't fail, I should be okay once the crown goes on - and after I've recovered from that pain as well.
This is just one of those months when I'm glad I drink.
I finally gave up around six, got up and hung out on the Internet for a while. Fark.com is a great diversion. Then around nine, I was finally able to get back to sleep - pain-free thanks to the ibuprofen. And then I slept like a boulder of basalt until noon.
Sure am glad it's Saturday. |
