It's been awhile since I've blogged. I've been sleeping (I hear the gasps echo through the world wide web). Don't get excited... it's been drug induced. Ok - I'M SORRY [insert McGruff the crime fighting dog infomercial here]. I've even failed at sleeping without some kind of artificial additive. I have gone back to taking Lunesta a few times a week. It wasn't even that I was falling asleep at work (yes even severe exhaustion doesn't induce sleep). It's more like I knew I was tired and was walking around in a dream-like state which doesn't work so well as you climb through the rungs of the corporate ladder.
So, now it's a normal hour and I'm awake wondering if I might be able to sleep naturally tonight. It now seems appropriate to tell you that comically enough, I think I'm married to a borderline narcoleptic. I've had him tested for thyroid issues multiple times and pored over the test results myself searching for some abnormality in his blood work. Surely it's impossible for one human being to a) sleep that much and b) fall asleep so quickly. It's like the back of his head and his eyelids are all magnetized to the pillow and the second they connect they're bonded for a minimum of 10 hours. To top it all off, he insists on always talking about how "tired he is."
I've often spent long spans of time staring at him (*yes, I'm aware that this seems crazy and like a scene out of Paranormal Activity) wondering how is brain can just shut down immediately like that and if perhaps he's not secretly an alien cyborg with an on and off switch sent as a test to see how human beings deal with emotional detachment.
I think in a past life I must have done some very bad things.
If I'm better this life do you think I'll sleep in the next? I guess I'll start with not resenting my husband for his ability to sleep literally in a wink.
