Sleep and Work
On the plus side, my insomnia gave me an easy answer to the interview question, “What is your biggest weakness?”“My biggest weakness is that it’s difficult for me to wake up early. But to counteract that, I set multiple alarms. . . .” Once I took a call and completed an over-the-phone interview while half asleep. It was a reasonable time, 10 AM or something, but I was in a “up all night, down…

Falling Asleep in Class
The absurdity of American high school scheduling also played a role in my lifelong insomnia. From an article at the Cleveland Clinic: Teenagers need eight to 10 hours of sleep every night, but the research shows that up to 50% of teens don’t get the sleep they need. Many only get around six or seven hours of sleep per night. One reason? “Teenagers start to naturally shift their preferred sleep…

What's the beginning game?
I never asked my sleep doctor what the final goal was regarding sleep and wake times. I think part of me assumed change was impossible. And honestly it was; many afternoons, I cried on the way home from work because I was so tired and hated myself and what was the point?! 8:30 AM was my breaking point. I don’t know why. I’ve been able to wake at that consistently in the past. But I faced a…

the heating mat
One of my cats has arthritis. I got her a heating mat. She is, at best, indifferent to it. One of my other cats, however, loves it. She runs to it when I enter the room so that I know it needs to be turned on. She starts as a little loaf and then eventually melts off the mat. My husband has suggested I get a mat for myself, and maybe I will sleep as well as the kitty does.
Prom
My dad died about a month before prom. Mom and I passed the time between ICU visits by going to the mall and looking at accessories. The theme: What Dreams May Come. I protested that this was not a good idea. But so it was and I attended a prom inadvertently themed on death not long after Dad died. It was a very nice prom and I had a very nice time. I ate caesar salad for the first time and…
Field Trip
The Exhibit: A new exhibit was installed at work recently and will remain in the building until September. “Exquisite Creatures” by Christopher Marley, https://christophermarley.com/ He makes art from preserved animals. The vertebrates are obtained ethically; they are animals that died in captivity, roadkill, bycatch. Some of the invertebrates are specifically farmed/hunted (hunted? is that what…

Saved by the Bell
Despite having no official bedtime as a child, I still went to sleep, and slept for the appropriate amount for someone my age. So it still took some convincing for Mom to let me stay up for the all night Saved By The Bell marathon. But she did. My best friend, who lived next door, came over. We sat on the brown flowered couch, eating chips and feeling thrilled at doing something so unusual. She…

"That's Messed Up"
I told my husband about a dream I had last night. Me: You know how I dream about the same places? Like I often dream about grocery stores. But that’s a category, the stores don’t always look the same. Husband: Yeah. Me: Well I’ve started noticing that I dream about the same places. One is a hilly, winding, snowy, icy road on the way to Seattle. Husband: Oh like when we went to Winthrop…
Recurring Dream Locations
Ohio. Cincinnati, I think. A city in Ohio. A school in Ohio. An apartment in Ohio. I have never been to Ohio in real life. A college campus that is a combination of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and Oregon State University (OSU). Lincoln, Nebraska. I lived there for five years. My workplace, but it looks different, like a school I attended as a child. I’m not sure which school. But…
A Secret Fourth (or Fifth?) Thing
April is one of the cruelest months for me: My father’s death on the seventh, followed close by my husband’s birthday on the eleventh. Whiplash. I’ve been tracking my dreams carefully this month and noticed the strangest thing: A bad dream, a nightmare, and two…….somethings in between. Bad dreams are distressing, and a nightmare is a bad dream from which you wake yourself. Insomnia treatment…
