Merry Christmas. Now Shut up and Stop Snoring.

Posted in Sleep, what's that?, tagged , on December 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Here is my idea of hell: to be stuck in a small hotel room with my two snoring kids in one bed, and me – Mrs. Insomnia – in the other. Let’s make it worse, shall we? As we all know, I am two months pregnant and have thus sworn off my beloved Ambien, finally [...]

How my quest for sleep turned me into George Costanza

Posted in Mommahood, Sleep, what's that?, tagged , , , on November 22, 2009 | 5 Comments »

I started my day by getting yelled at by my Friendly Neighborhood Pharmacist. In my desperate attempt to find someone who would tell me Ambien was OK to take while pregnant, I was calling everyone I could think of. After three nights in a row of four hours of sleep, I realized I was going to [...]

I have no idea what to do with myself right now. Siig came home early and took the kids to a friend’s house so he could drink beer with his buddy Mike. (Don’t worry, Mike has two kids so Kaiden and Kaya are entertained.) Articles written. Laundry done. Bills paid.  Shower taken. Stuff organized. Hmmm, [...]

I have never been a great sleeper, but lately it seems my choices of how I feel in the morning are one of two things – drugged or tired. I fall asleep fine; it’s the middle of the night or early morning hours that haunt me. I wake up anywhere from 2 to 5 a.m. – because my [...]
