I'm tired.

No seriously.

I mean exhausted.

I can never fall asleep at night at a reasonable hour.  I am usually up until 1-2am during the week, and the weekend is even worse.  It could be close to 4 am before I am falling asleep.  On Saturdays and Sundays I could sleep all day long.  During the week, I'm up at 6:00 am.  I am dead.  I will hit the snooze once.  If I am totally out of it and hit the snooze more than once my whole morning is thrown off and I'm running around like a crazy lady.  Even worse is if, during my haze of exhaustion, I accidentally turn the alarm off completely.

Why!?  Why am I so tired?  I can understand not being able to fall asleep if I come home and nap.  And I do nap quite often.  Yesterday, no nap.  Yesterday, I didn't fall asleep until 1:30 am!  I've tried melatonin, Benadryl, sleeping pills, and any and all PM type pills.  Eventually I fall asleep.  The problem is, after taking these pills, it's even harder waking up so early.

I sit here wasting time at work and I am only staying awake...right now... due to typing this blog.  I wish that I liked wine or warm tea.  Maybe that would knock me out relax me enough to fall asleep. Unfortunately, I also do not drink coffee.  I am dead ass tired, and THEN can't figure out what to do to stay awake!?

Any suggestions on 1- how to fall asleep, and 2- how to perk myself up when I'm so tired??

I'm a desperate woman walking on the edge of sanity right now....
