"It's 4:03, and I can't sleep...I toss and turn like the sea..."

I'm wide awake, even though the rest of the world seems to be sleeping. Maybe I should call my mom. I bet she's awake. Ironically, I'm watching "True Life: I can't sleep"... I'm pretty sure I have the same thing this one girl has. She can't fall asleep until 4am-ish and then her body wants to sleep until noon. Sounds about right. She's just lying in bed staring at stuff, bored.
There are 4 or 5 people the show is following with different disorders, and they all had to quit good jobs or quit college because they just couldn't stay awake or function after days without sleep. One of the guys has sleep apnea. His mouth is too small so his tongue blocks his air passage, and he's gotten lots of surgeries for a bigger mouth...how bizarre. It's kind of scary watching these people drive while they're falling asleep- that can't be safe. They're also all very grumpy because they're so tired...which makes me wonder again how my mom runs for days on no sleep and seems fine. I can't sleep at night, but at least I'm usually pretty good with sleeping in.
I love that they expect these people at sleep clinics to sleep when they're hooked up to machines with wires all over them. Haha. I'm so sure. Well...I guess it's time to bust out Power 90x and get my workout in. Mom, if you're awake, you're welcome to come hang out. Then again, maybe we should both just try to sleep.
