I haven’t much to add to this nom except that I am just basically, almost reaching out, like some sad needy cunt, to any fellow cunters who have ever suffered from this bastard of an affliction.
Up until recently – I have never struggled to kip. Not even during the most turbulent periods of my life. Until now that is. And there’s fuck all stressful going on either.
My job and my family life can be as stressful as the next persons but it’s not like that’s anything new.
I suffered my first 3 day bout of total sleeplessness approximately a year ago and it has reoccurred on several occasions since.
I am currently in the middle of another sleepless period where I feel tired but at the same time feel like I could climb the walls or run a fucking marathon.
Went to see the GP recently and they prescribed some pretty heavy sedative/anti depressants which I very reluctantly tried, just to get some decent shut eye but the things made me feel like a zombie for the whole of the next day and then some.
Allied to that is the fact that as we’re only a small business – I can’t justify crying off sick for long periods over something as simple as a decent night’s kip and need to be on my A game.
Been doing a bit of running and other exercises to hopefully burn up some nervous energy.
I’m hoping this is just a phase and something that will pass.
First world problem I know and no doubt all in the mind – but Christ on a BMX – please just let me sleep.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Nominated by Herman Jelmet.
