Sleep, sleep, sleep...

Why is it that the world around me can sleep, but I lye awake at night wondering why they are asleep and I am not? Why is it that some people can go right to sleep without any hesitations? Why is it that some are narcoleptics? Why is it that I have to try and find interesting TV to watch at all hours of the night? Why, why, why? Yesterday I came home exhausted. My head was hurting, and just felt a bit achy. I laid on the couch for the first time in a long time after work. I usually will sit down after work, but I got blankets out and pillows. I was ready to rest. The problem was my body was not. Why do I feel tired, but my body fights it? I finally fell asleep last night at 10 or so. Last I remember I was watching Amazing Race with my husband and all the people were headed to some large dam. Next thing I know it is 12:30. I woke up thirsty. I grabbed the nearest bottle of water. Didn't care if it was 10 days old or just opened that is how thirsty I was. I then proceeded to look for my eyes. Found them and then I climbed into bed grumpy. Tried to fall asleep, but all I could think about was how thirsty I was. I thought this shall pass. So I turned on the tube and found out that on TV Land they were playing CSI: NY. Shortly after I feel asleep at 1:08. At exactly 2:08 I woke abruptly to the fact that my mouth was like a desert. It was so dry. I debated what to do. I feel so lazy when it comes to getting out of bed. So, I stumbled into the kitchen got a bottle of water and of course thought of some crazy scene in my head then walked back to bed. Turned on the tube again and started another episode of CSI. Before I even fell asleep the bottle was already gone. It was so cold and painful going down. It feels like my throat freezes drinking such cold water when my body is of normal temperature. Finished up the bottle and tried to be loud. Why? Because if I can't sleep then I shouldn't have to listen to my husband's snoring the whole time. Just utterly frustrating that someone else could be in such deep sleep and never know what is going on in my world. All the noise I made didn't help. I knew drinking that bottle of water was going to come back and haunt me. At 3:15 I woke up with that sudden urge of about to wet the bed. I am so stubborn when it comes to going to the bathroom. I would rather try to fall back asleep than get up. I think it is because if I get up and move then my body is even more awake. I can always  tune out the brain signals of needing to go to the bathroom. So, I stumbled to the bathroom and turned the tube back on to my wee bit excitement that CSI: NY was still on. I got up at 6:16. Got ready for work all the while in a bad mood that I couldn't sleep. My body needs it I am almost positive. Why can't it happen?  Haven't been able to shake the bad mood. I just know that at 2:55 I have a week off of work. I really need it. Of course, I am going to Vegas and who sleeps there? Your getting sleepy. Sleep, sleep, sleep...
