I managed to sleep past 4:00am, but it took two tries. I went to bed at 10:30 thinking I was breathing through my nose a little better than I had before. As soon as a lay down though my nose clogged up again and all progress was removed. Crap. I fell asleep after a little tossing and turning and was hopefully on my way to a full night’s sleep… and then I woke up at 2:30am. What? Four hours? That’s it? I didn’t even make it to 4:00am. I went to the bathroom and then lay back down. I couldn’t fall asleep though. I was thinking of just getting up for a while. I got my pills and the last of my water bottle and a couple of protein bars and brought them to the couch. I was going to have my vitamins and maybe some breakfast but then I decided to try to sleep again. It worked. Next thing I know the 6:00am alarm in the bedroom was going off. I did it. I slept past 4:00am. What a relief.
Okay, I am up now and about to have some food and take a shower. At 9:00 I will punch in to work. I’ll tell my manager and my staff that I am planning on working until 1:00pm and then re-evaluating my situation. If I can work the full day I will, if not I’ll take half a sick day. Here’s hoping I can stay focused for the full day. Fingers crossed.
