It's back!

The sleepless time is back!!

It's 7:40AM, morning to be very specific, and I didn't sleep yet!! Oh yeah, "yet" suggests some hope that I'll be able to sleep in few hours or so...I doubt!!

I called Brasil and my cute 5 years old niece was telling me how to sleep all night long..."auntie Dada, just close your eyes and you will sleep!" I wish I could follow her instructions!! It seems soo easy!

I've tried everything...counting sheep, tea, hot chocolate, warm bath, cool room you name it. I know it's related to my non-existent thyroid but I don't give up and I will keep looking for alternatives that seem reasonable!!

The sleepless time is back and stronger than ever...

Sunday...

House to clean, dishes to wash, clothes to folder, bathroom to brush, papers to organize, nap to take, places to go, city to know, and I'm here in bed feeling very very sleepy and lazy!!

Well I can't wait much of myself right now since I just slept for 4 hours and the climate also is not helping at all! It's very gray, clowned and feeling like the firsts days of fall what really contribute to my inert state of being under my cozy blanket!!

Oh God, what a great laziness!

Heeeeeeeeellllpppppppppp!!!
Someone take me out of hereeeee!

Sleepless

6:25 AM and I'm sooooo awake!!
I slept for about 2 hours and then the sleepless's monster came again!
Who let him out???
Please dear monster, come back to your place please and let me sleep! I'm begging you to leave me alone, in a polite way of course!
Please I want sleeppppp!!!!

I wanna sleep

Again I can’t sleep!! I don’t know what to do anymore!
For like a week or so, I guess, I’m going to bed at 6AM. Well, at least there is a 5 hours different time zone with Brasil in this time of the year and I can chat with many friends all night long.
Sometimes I can sleep the regular 8 hours, but usually I don’t and that is not good! My humor, my skin, and my energy… everything gets some alteration because of that lack of sleeping! For the humor I can fix just chatting a little with my friends or reading some Brazilian comics that I love, or dancing, or cleaning my house and so on… My skin I can fix as well, just a little Clarins mask and voila! But..my energy!! That is hard to put it up! Coffee has no effect on me at all. I can drink an espresso or two and nothing happens. Besides, coffee is a national beverage in Brasil and we drink a very strong coffee many times a day, served in small cups like espresso cups since we were born and I’m not exaggerating about it. Parents wet the pacifier in a coffee cup and put back at baby’s mouth! It is a very common and natural action there! My cute niece is just 3 years old and if you ask her what she likes to drink she will answer without put any thought on it: "café"! I mean, i can drink coffee and my energy level will be inalterable!

Anyway…I’m just a couch potato after a night without good sleeping.
Now, my nutrologist in Brasil prescribed a natural medicine called passiflora and it has helped me a little. Sometimes I’m taking Tylenol PM and it has helped to sleep wonderfully 8 hours without letting me get any dizzy next morning! The problem is there is no Tylenol PM in Switzerland or in Baden and although I can buy it at amazon.com it is very expensive to ship to here. So, I’m being very caution in taking this precious medicine.

I used to be very active at night, but I’m losing my concentration now. I know for sure that I’m a night person and because of that this sleeping privation is not bother me very much.
I would like to learn how to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon, because it could burst my energy. My mom never allowed us to take a nap. Worse! She never allowed us to sleep until 8 AM, even on weekends. That is something we can’t forgive her and she knows that.
And it isn’t just us, her “kids”, nobody sleeps in her house after she is awake and she is up at 6:30 AM every single day! Oh God!!

Well, 4:15 and I think I’m going to bed. I have some books waiting for me and also my Mary Tyler Moore Show, complete season in DVD, that I got as a gift to myself!
Yeah, I’m going to bed now… maybe I’ll find some sleep there waiting for me!!
