03/30/2011 - morning

I did not get to sleep until 5am this morning and had to be up at 6.  I am so tired, but I can't sleep if that makes any sense.  I am probably going to hit the "wall" later today.  Sleep is a funny thing, we need it - but it eludes many of us.  Dr. McDonald said that insomnia would be a side effect of the depo-lupron shot and he was right on the money.  Something that our body's need shouldn't be so hard to get.  I've even trying not watching TV in the bedroom to create a sleep sanctuary, but that has yet to help either.  I have Lunesta, but I just don't like how it puts me into a very, deep sleep.  Scott thinks I am getting depressed again.  I don't know, maybe I am.  I know that my sleep is effected when my depression is getting the better of me.  It's something that I will have to keep an eye on.  It could be the shot or depression or a combination of the both.  Either way a nap is calling my name and I think I am going to respond.  I know naps aren't a good thing when you have insomnia because it can keep you from sleeping at night. Right now, I feel like a zombie on auto-pilot.  Well enough of my chatter.....it's nap time!!  Have a great day!!
