Treatment Day Twenty-Five 12/30/11

I've been snoring the last few nights and my ears are tender when I put in and take out my earplugs. I think I'm trying to get a cold, which I'm going to use as my excuse for why I slept so much today.

I didn't go to sleep until well after 2am, then was awake at around seven. I had treatment at ten, and got back to the apartment shortly after eleven. I napped briefly, then read a little, then slept for about four or five more hours. Not ideal, especially for any hope of good sleep tonight, but I do at least feel well-rested.

Sleep has been my biggest struggle here. Partly, my day is just too unstructured.  Also, I hate the mattress here. My sleep patterns have changed to include a long period of wakefulness in what I consider the middle of the night (often 5am-7am). I have nightmares nearly every night, but that has been a long standing side effect of antidepressants. I'm just remembering them more than usual.

I'm so excited about the New Year. As my friend reminded me, 2012 is when the world is supposed to end. At least my last year will be happy! :) I have big plans for 2012, though, and look forward to sharing them with you soon.
