I am going to feel this tomorrow.

I have been up since 3:30 am. I was in bed around 11 pm, which is normal for me, but I got super hot and was tossing and turning a few hours later. Then Fuller woke up, apparently also hot, and was crying in the middle of his room for me. I got him some juice, had him hop back into bed and he fell back to sleep.

Not me. I am wide awake.

Part of the problem is that I have been dealing with allergies/ congested sinuses since Saturday. Not being able to breathe is pretty rough. And then the heat of the night isn’t helping either.

I never had problems sleeping until I was pregnant in 2004. And it was then that I decided that if I couldn’t go back to sleep in twenty minutes, I should just get up for a while. The guilt of possibly keeping Damon awake with my turning and tossing would force me out of bed. I would watch late night infomercials, surf the internet, and just mull around until I thought I could go back to sleep. Sometimes I could just change my location, move from the bedroom to the couch, and I would be able to fall back to sleep.

Well, tonight I opted for the computer. But I think I am almost ready to head back to bed. Only to get up in a couple of hours.
