Having trouble sleeping at the moment :(
It"s something I very rarely suffer from. Normally I"m asleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow and don"t stir until the alarm. I only have 5 or 6 hours but it"s high quality stuff.
Since Christmas I"ve been struggling to get off - as in hours rather than minutes - not every night but enough for it to become a pain in the @rse. I think I"ve fecked my body clock up or summat. I was watching the cricket at Christmas and had some really late nights. These carried on somewhat after my return to work in the New Year - stopping up until lunch in the cricket and only getting 3 or 4 hours on a pretty regular basis.
I"ve also had a couple of big weekends since Christmas too. I don"t think this has done me any favours either (despite snatching a few minutes on the way to my room one night ;D)
Now I think it"s got to the stage where I"m worrying about not sleeping :( There"s nothing worse than lying in bed not being able to drop off.
So after 3 bad nights on the trot I decided to see the doc. As I said to him, I reckon I"ve lost more sleep in the month and a bit since Christmas than I have in the last 10 years. He asked if I had anything on my mind (yeah, right!) or if I had any weight loss ;D. He checked my blood pressure and found it to be very high - I think he said 180/110 :(. This is very disappointing because when I was at my lightest and going to the gym regularly my blood pressure was absolutely perfect. I"ll have to keep an eye on that (I"ve got my own machine).
So he"s got me in for a blood test on Wednesday to check for liver function (I reckon he read about the Bolton trip) and thyroid problems. Personally, I don"t think there"s much wrong as I feel absolutely fine.
He also prescribed some sleeping tablets to sort me out short-term, amitriptylene. I had my first one last night and it seemed to do the trick. I reckon I"ll just try "em for a week at most to see if that allows me to get back to my normal pattern.

It"s the lifestyle Jack - drinking every night, red meat, smoking, no exercise - oh wait - move on nothing to see here.
Look after yourself.
