It seems to me that there is never enough time in the day. Lately, that’s been very true for me. My sleep schedule is completely whacked. I have insomnia, find myself exhausted by midnight but just can’t sleep, so I stay up til 3 or 4 in the morning, checking Facebook, playing Farmville… Then I can’t/don’t want to wake up, hitting that snooze button repeatedly. Mornings when I must be somewhere “early” (before noon) are really hard on me. Trying to get daytime things accomplished before nightfall is like trying to squeeze into clothes that are too small..
Last week while at the ENT doctor for a follow-up on allergy/chronic sinusitis issues, he gave me a questionnaire called the SNOT-20. After I finished laughing at the name, I filled it out. :) I had a really high score, somewhere in the 50s. The items I marked most important all had to do with sleep: difficulty falling asleep, waking up at night (I get leg cramps), lack of a good night’s sleep, waking up tired, fatigue. My kids tell me that I snore (what? since when?). These things concerned my doctor, who wants me do a sleep study.
So sometime soon, amidst other obligations and appointments, I have to find the time to do said sleep study…
and a CT scan of my sinuses… may be time for major sinus procedure #3 (had outpatient surgery in 1995 and 2006), doctor says if needed this time, possibly could do an in-office balloon sinuplasty. Looks like an interesting procedure…
