For two nights running, I've had dreams that lasted through the night - bits and pieces of stories, cameos by movie stars, and strange turn-of-events...I think I need to start taking melatonin again.
Last night was a long dream involving helping shoot the final episode of The Office (with John Krasinski & Jenna Fischer) during the golden hour in a suburb, which involved John getting down on one knee and offering Jenna a jewelry box full of money, which I think she needed to give to her father because he was sick and needed money to pay hospital bills, which then turned into driving a convoy with James Marsters (as Spike) and a couple of demons for Christian Bale (who wanted to ride in a van all by himself so we had to crowd into James' van), which then turned into a Buffy episode (where I was a human disguised as a demon) at the beach where I was almost detected by a really evil dude, which then turned into a chase scene up and down the boardwalk and under piers (where some of the demons were helping and some were chasing - much like the Buffyverse), which is where I finally decided to quit sleeping.
None of it was scary, it was just...weird.
Anyway. I ate two gyros yesterday, as well as Greek fries, Chicken tenders, and a banana and a Clementine. For anyone wondering what causes these ridiculous night-long sagas.
Now to spend the day crocheting and cooking and laundering, with the help of music and TV episodes.
I'm off melatonin too (it was causing a pregnancy scare :P and extra headaches) but I think it was also kind of an anti-depressant...not sure if that's a good thing or dependency. And I've been spending a lot of nights on the couch because a certain someone fidgets ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
ReplyDeletePoor Abbie! Have you tried yoga? I read an article about a yoga routine that helps you go to sleep faster, so I did try it and...it DOES work! It relaxes your muscles so that you drift off to sleep - it usually keeps me asleep too, so I don't have to take any drugs. I stopped taking Melatonin b/c you're supposed to be on it for so many weeks and off so many weeks, and honestly it helped me A LOT, BUT if I get woken up in the middle of the night or don't go to sleep properly...it doesn't work and I'm awake, albeit drowsy. And when *SOMEONE* has a habit of being up at all hours and watching Star Trek or That 70's Show at full blast...well, it just doesn't help much. XD So. Maybe we should let the boys sleep at your house and you can sleep at mine?! LOL. I'm kidding. But seriously.
