Sunny Side Up

want to blog more often...

I am pretty sure that I am have mentioned before that I have really bad sleeping problems. Insomnia. Lately I started taking Ambien CR and its been working for me! I don't really feel better health wise, but it hasn't been that long since I started taking it and getting some real sleep. I am looking forward to feeling better all the time! I put off getting sleep aid for a really long time. I guess mostly because people say you get addicted to them. But then I thought about it more rationally.
There are much worse things then sleep to be addicted to. And there have been studies of people taking them every night for a long time. So I jumped in (to my bed that is) with both feet. And I am glad that I did! I am going to be picking up my one month prescription today from the hospital pharmacy. Before I had just tried a trial size. One major health issue that I would love to go away is my heart pain. Especially today. Right now it's hurting as bad as it was when I last went to the ER :( So I'm in bed laying propped up for now. I took some ibuprofen and hopefully the pain will subside soon. Until then, here are some random facts about me and night time.

*Every night right before getting in bed I flip over my pillow. Every night.
*I cannot sleep with socks on, even when it's cold.
*I wake up in the middle of the night to pee and drink more water.
*When I lay sideways I sometimes have a hard time breathing.
*I don't like sleeping with the door open.
*I cannot sleep with a night light on.
*I do not like quiet noise of any kind when I'm trying to sleep.
*If I am really tired I cannot sleep in loose clothes. Because they twist in the bed and it REALLY gets on my nerves!
*I like to go to bed in between 8:30-10:00pm every night
*I have a much harder time getting sleep when Jake and I go to bed at different times.
*I don't sleep at the top of the bed. I get into bed, and pull my pillow down about6-8 inches and sleep down there. Because Jake is so much taller then I am if I sleep at his head level the blanket doesn't come all the way up to my chin!
*I wake up every morning in between 2:45-5:00am, but I don't get out of bed until 7:00-10:00am!
*I never ever sleep with a sweater on, unless I am sick in which case I always do.


well I cannot think of anymore silly facts about myself and night time :P Have a good day! Do you have any silly night time rituals?
