Random drabble out of nowhere

I suppose this was created from my own problems with sleeping. It seems my medication can't make up its mind whether it wants me to be sleepy all the time or keep me awake all the time. I think I have had six hours sleep the past week, as every time I lay down to sleep my eyes pop open and I am suddenly wide awake, even though I spend the day yawning and ready to collapse. Last week I could not keep my eyes open, and found myself sleeping too much. Now I am resorting to taking Tylenol PM to try and get some rest. I am just glad that I have a four day weekend, as I can try and sleep all I want.




I can not sleep tonight. The darkness presses against my skin, holds its breath as I close my eyes. There is too much silence tonight. It has its own sound, a piercing quite that pounds in my ears.

I shift, hoping to find a new spot that brings release, that will let my mind calm and soothe my aching eyes. But the world is all black, and only darkness and stifling air greet me.

My body is limp and tired, aching in places that rest against the rough stone of the floor.

I can not sleep tonight.

Oh gosh, insomnia is awful. Believe it or not, I found a fairly effective product at the local drug store. It's their (Rite Aid's) generic sleep aid, and the ingredient is Doxylamine Succinate 25 mg. One tiny tablet helps me sleep much better than I used to.

Hmm, I'll have to look into that. The only problem I have is that a lot of medicines interact negatively with the other medicines I'm on, so I have to be careful. Thank you for the recomendation, I never thought to look there.
