Luckily, it hasn't been that bad since, but if I do spend one night without sleep, I immediately go back into the feelings of anxiety and fear that I won't ever sleep again. This in turns makes going to bed a really daunting task. Being constantly afraid of a place that gives so much comfort is not my ideal situation.
This past sunday I was getting ready to hop in bed and pass OUT because I had been out every night since thursday and homegirl just cannot do that anymore. I felt like crap all weekend. Anyway, I laid down in bed, and closed my eyes. I didn't stop tossing and turning the ENTIRE night. 1am went by, then 3am then my alarm was going off. So last night I did everything besides take my prescription sleeping pills to try and will myself to sleep.
I bought chamomile tea and Midnite sleep aid because I had heard so many good things about it. I popped one in and an hour and a half later, still awake. It was 1:30 at this point and I was in tears over being awake. That's when I realized I had exactly what I needed downstairs in the my cupboards.
I wasn't sick but I knew this was going to give me exactly what I wanted. My very best friend who helps me out in times like this.
I know it's really not the best method to sleep but girl I needed the sleep as much as I need to stop eating Mcdonalds. Which I can guarantee you is really badly.
Anyway, 2 tablespoons later and I was off to dreamland. Sleep is definitely not overrated.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend!
