Wow! The night chorus is quite loud tonight. They must like the humidity.

Am I really done sleeping for the night? That's what I get for falling asleep at 8pm. I've got too much socializing tomorrow for this nonsense.

I usually try my best to resist the urge to nap but it sneaked up on me. Now, my fellow insomniacs know that this was a rookie move. Yup, there will be no sleep tonight. I have projects and am prepared. Here's the question: do I tempt the nightmares by watching a horror movie at night, by myself or do I just watch American Dad from the first episode again? Blue Planet, you say? Got it!

Really, brain? I was drowsy at 8pm but I didn't want to go to bed with the sun still out. Now, nope! I guess missed my window of opportunity.
#chronicInsomnia
I have made peace with not being able to fall asleep. I have not made peace with waking up and not being able to go back to sleep.

It's almost midnight. I think my brain is finished sleeping
Trying to figure out what to watch
I feel like I've seen everything. Do I have to resort to Cocaine Bear? On a related note, does Grimm get good? I have tried it multiple times, but never make past 2-3 episodes. Should I stick with it?

I can't really be done sleeping for the night and it's not even 1 yet.
I'm too much of a wimp to watch the rest of Infinity Pool after Mr Kamikat had gone to bed, so I guess it's back to the X-Files

3am, still no signs of sleep. I gave up on #sewing, as my machine sounded very loud. The day is going to suuuuuuck!
Of course as soon as one dog goes back to sleep, another one needs to go out. I think evening walkies need to stay in our routine even though we have our yard back.

Look who's trying to change her relationship with insomnia. The neck wrap light that I bought for knitting works well for coloring after everyone else has gone to bed. It totally bypassed all the ramp up of anxiety/frustration/restlessness/loneliness that always surface during a bad insomnia bout.

We were going to go-to a fancy vegan restaurant to celebrate my birthday but I don't think I can face the whole sit-down dinning process so we're going to that tiny joint down the road that has vegan "chick'n" and waffles. Must not forget to get hash browns this time.

It's that point in a night when I have to decide if I'm going to give up, turn on the lights and do something or just lie here, waiting until the sun comes up.

I knew that nap yesterday was a mistake.
I've now gone 2 full work weeks with my insomnia flaring up and getting 4 hours of sleep at best. What id give to get a good night's/day's sleep again....
#insomnia #ChronicInsomnia
If I go to sleep right now, I can get 4 hours before the dogs wake up.
Fell asleep on the couch and now wide awake. I have tried a ton of cheesey comedies, hoping to find something light, not too taxing, easy to fall asleep to. Another Period is better than I expected.
#ChronicInsomnia
I managed to get 6 hours of sleep last night. It's going to take a couple days to recover from this sleep deficit but I feel so much more human, very much less Tyler Durden.
