My son woke me up at about 1:15am last night and I just couldn't get back to sleep after putting him back in bed. Finally around 4am I was able to, but it was a very frustrating couple of hours. I was supposed to get up at 6, that didn't happen until 7:30ish instead.

I don't function very well on that little sleep... I'm glad that sort of thing isn't a normal occurrence for me.

3:30am been up for 2 hrs. I guess my big sleep Sat night did not reset my clock.

Jet lag?

Jet lag?

Yep, got home Sat evening and slept for 12 hrs. Felt fine all day so I figured I had reset my clock. I was wrong. :-(

Ugh... nose won't stop running, it's something like 80 degrees in here, and I had a bad dream. Tired and really need the rest so, of course, it eludes me.

My team is up working a scheduled maintenance. It's not going well and I'm about pull the plug and have us rollback. Crap.

Woke up itchy about 40 minutes ago. Decided to take a shower in case there was something on my skin causing an allergic reaction, but now I'm wide awake. Brilliant. I wasn't sleeping well to begin with and was supposed to get up in 1 hour for a couch to 5K run interval but now...geesh. I've only slept about 3 hours!

Drink more!

I'll usually take a Benadryl allergy or a shot of Nyquil if I'm worked up and can't sleep.

That sounds pretty bad. If work was keeping me up at night I'd probably go in and start bitch slapping people the next day. Luckily I usually forget all about work once I leave.

Ingrown toenail kept me up last night. 4 ibuprofen, a Xanax, and applying Orajel (20% benzocaine and the only topical anesthetic I could find in the cabinet) finally got me to sleep around 3 am.
