It started about a week and half ago. Not that I've been a good sleeper for at least a year now... but starting last week, I would get to sleep by 12 and up by 4 or so, with no hope of getting back to sleep. Two nights ago, it flip flopped and I couldn't fall asleep to save my life. I tried everything, deep breathing/meditating, eating a snack, etc and sleeping any - the chair in the nursery, the couch in my office, the couch downstairs...I think I finally fell asleep in my bed around 3:30 and then woke up at 6:15. Last night, I didn't think I could be tireder, but I still couldn't fall asleep. When it was 1:15, I thought I was going to cry. I finally took a benadryl and then tylenol and it worked, thank goodness.
I think I have a lot of anxiety about work -there is just so much going on. I have every hour of this week booked with meetings and that's really weighing on me. I'm so tired after a week and a half of no sleep that I just don't care anymore. So not good in this economy!
I guess I am just writing this in case I am grumpy or forgetful... please accept my apologies...

Hang in there! It is rough when you are exhausted and just can't fall asleep. I find listening to relaxing music and deep breathing can help at times. I hope you're able to get some rest tonight. Take care.
That's the worst. I hate not being able to sleep. It also happens to me when I'm stressed just to make the stress that much worse, you know?! I suppose you can't take anything to aid in that process? I hope it gets better because you're less stressed soon.
You should be ramping down at work... not getting busier! They're going to have to manage without you soon. I hope you're able to get some stuff off your plate and hopefully relax a bit.
