Much Needed Vacation

Sleep deprivation. I haven't been getting much sleep lately. I came in to work this morning as I do every morning, except around 7 or 8 am I started feeling really sick and dizzy. I felt as though I could have shut my eyes and slept for an eternity. After a few hours of feeling like this I finally begged some headache medicine from a coworker. I started feeling even worse and I felt like I was going to throw up. I thought that 2 Excedrin on a semi-empty stomach my be the culprit. After some pretzels I realized that it was.

I feel fine now, but it's almost like a sort of gilded feeling, an artificial wellness on top of an internal sickness. I'm sure I'll revert to the way I felt earlier when the caffeine and other drugs leave my system.

What I need is sleep! I don't know how I'm going to cope with this coming semester with school and all. Possibly I can get to sleep earlier than I have been, but I doubt I will. I wake up at 5am or earlier to get out the door at 5:30am so I can be at work around 6:15 am.

All I know is that If I'm not busy visiting friends or family over the Holidays I'll be sleeping.
