'Tis a puzzlement
Jan. 7th, 2006 01:48 pmFriday, I overslept (from 6:00) until a little after 10:00. I wasn't feeling well; in fact, I thought about calling in sick, but given that I just took a medical leave, I figured that wouldn't go over well. The drive to work made me so queasy that I thought that I would toss my cookies for a while.
I don't know what to do. All six alarms were set, as I found out this morning when they went off. The doctor suggested that I wake up enough to take the simulant and go back to sleep for an hour, but I found that makes matter worse because I'm more likely to oversleep when I go back to sleep (although I slept straight through on Friday).
I tried cutting back on Lithium last night, but my doctor is now giving me enough Wellbutrin to choke a horse, and I couldn't fall asleep until I took the extra dose of Lithium.
Maybe I'll try adding a wake up call, although I've been known to sleep through a ringing telephone too. What I really need is to live with someone who doesn't sleep through alarms, but that's a drastic solution -;)
I signed up for a Bay Area Linkup event on Sunday, which is attending a poetry slam. It sounds like great fun, but I'm not sure what to do given that I'm not feeling well. I'm feeling better today than yesterday, but still not well. Given that the event is wait-listed, I feel like I should cancel, but I don't want to.
