Insomnia sucks

I hate not sleeping. Sleep is the one perfect escape from life.

Before I got pregnant, I was on painkillers for chronic pain and took a sleeping pill (tranquilizer) every night to help me sleep.  The minute I found out I was pregnant, I went off the medications. I had forgotten how poorly I sleep and how mind numbingly depressing it can be. Lying in bed tossing and turning all night long, back sore, neck sore, getting more and more desperate for just one more hour of sleep. I had hoped that once the sleeping pills were out of my system it would get better, but it hasn't. I'm spending at least half my time in bed, awake and miserable. "to sleep, perchance to dream"-Shakespeare said it best!
