Today I woke up to a puppy that needed to relieve himself. I looked at the clock and it was 3:30am. Ugh. I get up, take him out, and then come back in, trying to decide if I should just stay up or go back to bed for the next hour and a half before my son wakes up. I decide to try the bed and at least make the attempt for some much needed sleep. Apparently Solomon, our puppy, hadn't relieved himself to his content, because before too long he was barking again. I get up and take him back out and sure enough, he poops.
So, here sit's I...trying to figure out what to do next, so that I can keep my coffayy appointment with my mother and a friend today. I keep counting....how many hours is it before I can go back to bed? What time will they be here for coffayy? How long will they stay? And what the heck is wrong with me? Why do I treasure sleep soooo much? I used to hate to sleep, always afraid of missing out of something exciting happening in the world. But lately, I'm tired ALL THE TIME.
I started reading up on sleep and MS. According to the The Sleep Foundation, fatigue is "one of the most common symptoms of MS, and can be profoundly disabling." Well, I'm profoundly disliking the fact that I'm constantly tired. Grrr!
My aunt swears by the powers of Melatonin , and after reading the article that I have linked in this post, and the 'maybe's' that associate Melatonin with helping the immune system, I just might try it. If you have found something that helps you sleep, aside from prescription drugs, please comment and let me know what you've found that helps you....after all, sharing is caring. :-)
