the vynsane asylum

And I don't mean the Megadeth song, even if I'm the only person alive who likes it.

Woke up this morning around 3 AM. This was after going to bed around midnight. I couldn't get back to sleep; it felt like I'd had too much caffeine the night before, though I haven't had any in days. No undue stress or anything, either. I've been up for two hours now. Plus, I have this weird quirk where, if I don't get at least five hours of sleep, I have diarrhea, which makes it even less fun.

God damn, I'm tired.

perhaps the diarrhea is an indicator of some third issue in conjunction with the insomnia, and not just a causality effect of the insomnia.

May be, but I get at least one bout every time I get less than five hours in a night, or wake up before 5.

I've got the same sleeping problem. With how much my hours change from working a night shift to a day shift I suppose that's my reason. I rarely get anything over 8 hours of sleep (I know that sounds like bitching but when you're up for the other 16 doing nothing but monotonous tasks it's not nearly enough).
