It's very disorienting

I've woken up three times today.

It's been a ridiculously cool summer, other than one very bad week in July. So along come two days around 90 degrees, and apparently I can't cope with the heat.

Tuesday night I went to bed around midnight and woke up around 2:40 a.m.

Back to bed around 10 a.m. Wednesday and up around 1:20 p.m.

Back to bed at 7 p.m. and up again at 9:50.

It's just after 11:30 p.m. Wednesday now. Thunderstorms were supposed to sweep through and cool things off, but they seem to have missed me. It'll still cool off, but it's taking longer. It's quite comfortable downstairs now, but my bedroom will still be pretty warm for a while.

Who knows when I'll sleep again, or for how long.

I need more eyedrops. *blink, blink*

I hate to suggest this but it might be more age-related than temperature-related. I've had occasional bouts of insomnia all my life, but it really exploded when I hit menopause. My mantra is "some nights I sleep, some night I don't."

Oh, I'm used to the occasional up-til-dawn nights, or the tossing and turning for an hour and then just getting out of bed because it ain't happening. Menopause has made those totally familiar. This was not so typical.

And to cap it off, I went to bed at 2 a.m. today, when my eyes would not stay open another second, and slept pretty well...until 6:40 a.m. when I had to make the first of a series of dashes to the bathroom!

Things calmed down after a couple of doses of Immodium, but at this point I'm a physical wreck. Of course, that's not that much different than most days, lol!
