I’ve not been sleeping well, not for a while. I will go to bed, often incredibly tired, yet wake up wide awake a couple of hours later, completely unable to sleep and end up waking up, this has actually been quite handy when it comes to watching the Australian Open Tennis, but for very little else. I’m now waking up at around 3.30am-4.30am with alarming regularity, this is also a problem I had prior to starting work and seems to have come back. Last night was no different, absolutely dead on my feet, blurry eyes, fuzzy head, you know, the kind of feeling you have when you know that you absolutely, positively must have sleep. Imagine this happening several times a day and that’s currently where I’m at.

I was actually dripping with sweat, shaking and felt like I was about to throw up for absolutely no reason at all.
I hate being sick, quite fortunate then that I seldom am due to a rather bad-ass immune system that has stopped me getting pretty much everything ever, the last illnesses being about 5-6 years ago when I had Labyrinthitis and a cold in the same year. I’m sure that whatever it is that I have will wash over soon enough, but I really don’t like being bad.
