This morning I woke up with raspberry stains on my undershirt, on my bed cover, on the light switch, on the carpet, on the clean dishes, and all over the counter.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that I got up in the middle of the night with the munchies. But I was a bit fuzzy about the details. I just can't sleep anymore. Very frustrating. Blue pills are really the only thing keeping me sane. Sort of. There's some collateral damage.
The evidence is pretty damning. There are three table knives in the sink. My loaf of bread is gone. The jar of jam is empty next to the fridge. Apparently, I came downstairs three times. Each time, I remember thinking: "I really like jam, I am going to put A LOT on this sandwich."
So apparently I was stumbling around last night, smearing jam on walls. Also, I ate almost a whole jar of jam in one night.
You make me laugh. The funny thing is I sometimes get the munchies too. It must have something to do with sleeping medicine and actually letting your brain fall to sleep. I personally think that it's the way my brain fights it.
ReplyDelete-Good luck with your next munchie battle.
I hope you find another way to get to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI hear you can drive without recalling the event, as well. You might want to check your odometer.
ReplyDeleteI finally went of mine. I couldn't stand the drugged/drunk effect and not being able to remember what I'd done after I'd taken them and before I'd gone to sleep. I did find that the regular ambien worked faster, but made me feel drunker/drugged. The ambien CR worked longer, but took longer to take effect. And neither one worked very well when I was stressed. Besides I was still tired the next day, even though I'd slept. Hopefully you can figure it out.
ReplyDeletethat would be "off of mine".
ReplyDeletethis is an amazing story. once when I was about 3 I got up in the middle of the night and ate a whole banana cream pie by myself. only crumbs as evidence.
ReplyDeletehide your keys.
ReplyDeletecan't you learn to live without sleep?
