insomnia

My work schedule is doing it to me right now. Midnight guy called out puking tonight. He claimed that he had driven most of the way to work before he ralphed on himself (I'm guessing he was in the wife's Sebring rather than his own Mustang) and drove home. So I stayed to help the other midnight guy out until things settled down. Dealt with a couple of patients (including a really crazy dude in restraints that was sexually preoccupied), did an insurance precertification, and here I am. At home. With absolutely not one speck of tiredness to be found. I even woke up extra early today because it was girlfriends' tea day, today. I have been awake 20 hours. It's not a caffeine issue, because I had one cup of coffee this morning, a couple of cups of tea this afternoon, and one cup of coffee at work at around 1700 hours. I mainline the stuff, ordinarily, and can and have finished a 24 ounce coffee 1/2 hour before I need to go to sleep, and I sleep like a log (was going to say a baby, but I don't cry every couple of hours and pee myself).

Maybe I'll just have a lie down and pretend about sleeping and see what happens.

I do it to myself. Was up until 2 am last night finishing a mystery novel. Now I'm all tired and cranky. Only myself to blame.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning. All bright eyed and bushy tailed. Do you know how little there is to do in my small town at 4:30 in the morning? And its 4 degrees out. And its still pitch black. And I'm out of coffee. /end rant.
