Let Me Sleep!


Right now, there just isn't enough hours in the day to get the sleep that my body, and brain, seem to be crying out for.  I am in a perpetual state of exhaustion, and let me tell you, it's getting a little tired!  It's as if there is a part of my brain that holds the amount of sleep I need to function.  Only that part of my brain seems to be leaking, since no amount of sleep seems to be enough these days!  Yes, I am in the middle of a medication adjustment.  Yes, my depression is pretty major at the moment.  Yes, we're heading into the darkest season of winter.  So in other words, I've hit the trifecta of sleep-deprivation.  How'd I get to be so lucky?!

  1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that book "Perks of Being a Wallflower" My best friend got it for me YEARS ago and every so often, I will pull it from my shelves and read it again. Very introspective, don't you think?

    Yes, I am tired too. I'm exhausted and my brain is malfunctioning and some days I don't know how I make it or am able to recall any details from those moments in between sleep.

    Mine's not from depression, but I could definitely see how the winter season mixed with the sadness could make anyone tired. I think winter generally makes everyone tired to be honest. The days seem shorter, it gets dark so much earlier and it's too cold usually to go out anywhere for long periods of time. There's a sort of isolation that comes with these months. I hope you get some sleep soon!

    1. Hi Jennifer! Nice to meet you!
      I recently read Perks for the first time, and I agree, it is quite a spectacular book. I've got it on my kindle, so it's easy access! I might have to borrow the phrase you used "brain is malfunctioning" cause that is sure what mine feels like ALL THE TIME!

      The first day of winter is a week away, and I'm already counting down to spring! Though admittedly, a part of me is happy for the excuse to hibernate for the winter!

      Thanks for the comment, and thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hey Tamara! Thanks for the quote feedback, and as much as I wish you weren't able to relate, it's nice knowing that someone out there gets it! Thanks for the prayers, too!

    1. Thanks Rennata. It really is such a well written book, it gave me a lot to think about, actually. I think it was even helpful in therapy in the sense that it opened up a new path of conversation!

So? What do you think?
