vanillafluffyI remember an episode of "The Flintstones from a million years ago, where the gang thought Fred had some kind of sleeping sickness, and they had to keep him awake for 24 hours, because if he fell asleep, he'd never wake up. (Except it was actually Dino who was sick, and he could sleep all he wanted---but I digress.)
Right now, I'm feeling rather Fred-like. Over the last few weeks in particular, my sleep schedule has run amok, to the point where "bedtime" has been around noon, and I sleep til evening. I managed to shift it around a little yesterday, to the point where I woke up before 7AM today. Now, I'm endeavoring to stay awake until 10PM or thereabout.
At the moment, my brains have the higher functions of a bowl of custard. I want to get horizontal and snooze, to hell with how out-of-sync I am with the rest of the world. I crave sleep. NOW.

Date: 2012-04-26 12:46 am (UTC)Sadly, one of the things I didn't know (or didn't remember) was Alexander Godunov's death. I really enjoyed his acting -- he could play an over-the-top character and still make him believable.
*deep breath*
Okay, back to the game: News/Talk Shows -- Walter Cronkite to Jon Stewart

Date: 2012-04-26 08:16 pm (UTC)It's just magnesium citrate, so any generic brand would do, if you can't get your hands on this brand (which I know is available in the US, but not sure where). It's not expensive. Magnesium is important for muscle relaxation. I took some last night and slept like a baby.
Absolute darkness in the room helps, too. As does limiting electronic stimulation an hour or two before bed. (No TV, computer, etc.) Reading books is allowed, though.
Good luck, honey. I know I'm intolerable - and incapable - when I don't sleep enough.
