Get up everybody!!! I couldn't sleep at all last night, so of course, you musn't either!

I'm wondering if I'm starting to see a trend here. I occassionally have these boughts of insomnia which last a three solid, as in not a wink, nights sleeplessness. I'm at my low right now and wonder...seems like each time I'm on the brink of being too low, this happens. Then I eat for a few days and eventually start sleeping again. Hmmm..I'll have to pay more attention. Might be my body screaming "If you're not going to feed me, I'll be danged if I'm going to let you sleep!". Not like I ever starve; far, far from it. But I seem to do this dance where I want to eat, then when I hit 165, I'll lose my appetite, go down to 155, then pick back up again. Nothing mental, purely physical, which in itself to me is strange. And rather freeing. Learning to trust the bod and not go into mind warp when I gain ten pounds over and over, same ten.

I spent so many decades ignoring what my body wanted and doing what I thought I wanted instead, that it's really a fascinating journey to watch how the bod behaves when left to it's own devices.

Now you may put this next statement down to sleep induced deleriums, but it's almost like I have two people inside of me...the mental and the physical, and what they each want is sometimes distinctly different.

But surely enough, the mental is having to relinquish control as the physical gets stronger and takes over the reins.

Very Sybilesc, huh? I know some of you further down the road can relate!

Off this morning to the DMV or whatever it is here in Texas to get my car registered. If THAT doesn't put me to sleep, nothing will!

Hehe, welcome to the insomnia club. I think lots of us deal with it. Becare of sleep aids like ambien, we can like them a bit too much.
