I haven’t been getting sleep, I know that much. At least, not what you would call restful sleep. I’ve been trying the usual methods like melatonin supplements, avoiding electronics before bed and generally going to bed at the same time each night, give or take a half an hour. Nothing seems to help.
I don’t know exactly what happened yesterday, but it felt like my body was on autopilot. Like I was moving through static. I just sort of fell through the day like I was hooked up to a machine that walked my body for me, doing dishes and writing articles. It was a very strange sensation, and I’ve only felt it one other time in my life. I was outside of myself, and yet it was also like I was in someone else’s body looking out through their eyes.
I felt very much like I was in the Twilight Zone. I was able to speed through articles and get a lot done, but I was uncomfortable the whole time.
Some days are like this, but it’s never been that feeling of utter outlandishness that I felt yesterday. I think I might need a tranquilizer.
I’m sorry you felt this way, I hope you get some sleep soon! I know they say reading can make your eyes tired, though for me it just kind of keeps you up. Did you try maybe listening to soft and relaxing music? Sometimes I’ll fall asleep to my iPod if I’m having a really hard time falling asleep. Hope this helps! 🙂
