Lest I Forget

In my rantings about menopause the other day, I left out one of the things that is really driving me nuts.  Well, I didn't leave it out, I forgot it.  (oh yeah, that is another one, forgetting things).  Insomnia!  I have almost forgotten what a full night's sleep feels like.  I either am not sleepy so I stay awake until 12 -1 o'clock.  Or, and this is even worse, I fall asleep around 9 or 10 and then anywhere from 1-3 I am wide awake.  I have never in my life had trouble sleeping or going to sleep until about 7 - 8 months ago.  At first, I thought is was part of the grief process but began to notice that it kinda ran along with my "monthly's" (oh and that's a joke too).  So now I blame it on menopause oh but wait, I can't claim menopause yet.  We will just say that it is hormonal.  Oh for an uninterupted 7-12 hours of sleep.  Ah, but again, this too will pass.
