Who needs sleep, anyway?

Hey guys:

Just looking for advice for how to get back into a good sleeping pattern. I am at work it is 6:45 a.m., and I have had two hours of sleep - went out last night for my friends 21st B-Day and got home at 4 a.m. Crazy stuff. I haven't done that in a while.

So here I am stuck behind a computer and telephone at work, dreading going home because I will want to go to sleep right away and then I'll get up at 2 or 3 a.m. and not be able to sleep anymore. Thank goodness for my 80s music and GC or else I'd be bored outa my mind.

Seriously, I am a big abuser of NyQuil. If I cant sleep, get me some. I had a real problem after my sis' kid was born. I got up at 8 am the day before, spent the night packing (till 3 - thats just how I am built) and COULD NOT SLLEP, I was so anxious. So at about 6 am I said to hell with it and got a shower, cleaned my windows in the truck, packed it, stopped by Starbucks for a double Espresso Mocha Latte Vendi with whipped Cream and a ton of sugar and hit the road to houston. I was so wired by the time I got there It looked like I was on Crank. And BAD bathub Crank at that. My mom was urging me to at least blink. So finally later that night I came off it and crashed. I hadnt slept in 40 hours. The longest I had ever gone without sleep had been 24 hours, so it was kinda cool to know I could do it. My patterns were all whacked after that tho. Nyquil helped me re-adjust.
