I did a little better today, getting logged in here by late afternoon. Even so, I still won't have time for much again. Time just is not cooperating very well. But, it's getting better, or at least it seems to be. Now, if I could just get some decent sleep at night, I think I'd have this about beat.

I was a couple hours late getting to bed last night, but that's still better than the norm, or at least what has been normal in the past. I was getting about three to four hours of sleep a night on work nights, but now I'm up to five to six hours. I've even managed to get to bed early enough to get seven and close to eight a few times. Of course, I do better when I don't have to be up around three, or three thirty in the morning.

The biggest problem lately hasn't been getting to bed on time; I've been shooting for seven hours. It's getting to sleep on time. I just can't get to sleep it seems, and when I do, I'm awake right away again. I usually don't have a lot of trouble getting to sleep, but if I go to bed early, then I do. Also, I've been waking up a lot during the night.

I'm talking about being asleep, and just waking up for no apparent reason. I wake up, but have no idea what has disturbed my sleep, and once awake, find I need to use the bathroom before going back to sleep. Not that I have to go bad, but I have enough of a desire to go that it keeps me from going back to sleep right away. It's kind of like a thought slips into my mind that if I don't go now, I'll wake up in another hour and need to go then. So, as long as I'm awake, I should just go and get it over with. Only, this happens a half dozen times a night, and with only about five or six hours of sleep time, it's a big problem.

But, I'm working on some alternatives, other than sleep aids, and hopefully I will overcome this obstacle, soon.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
