Need To Rest

I stayed up again all night. Probably because I slept for most of the day when I finally got home. I want to sleep and know I need to, but... Knowing that I have to and actually doing it are two completely different things.

My head hurts, my throat and jaw hurt. It's a weird headache. It feels weird. Not sure how to describe it. Not a migraine though. Thank goodness because those are the worst.

Once, I had a REALLY BAD migraine. I was when my last boyfriend was living with me. He was adamant about having his own room while he was here so he moved into and camped out in the dining room. Anyway, when I get really bad migraines, I try to sleep them off, if I can. Nothing else really works. It was so bad I was convinced I was actually going to die.

I woke up, the room was dark. I saw someone sitting on my bed. Sort of checking up on me. So I thought my then-boyfriend was checking up on me. So I reached out to him. It was then that I heard him in the hall, going into the bathroom. So who was sitting on my bed? I keep thinking it was a ghost. I still don't know for sure. But I SWEAR I saw someone on my bed. I actually woke up. I was awake when I saw them. When I heard him going into the bathroom was when whoever it was, left. Just disappeared. It was really strange and scary. I even asked him if he went into my room at all, and he swore he never did. He was in the dining room playing video games.

Also, lately, I've been getting pain in my abdomen. Always at the same time of night. Around 5am. I don't know what that's about. Never had that before. Started the night before last when I was at work.

I was going to go to an AA meeting today, but I'm going to wait until Monday and go before I leave for my trip. I think I mentioned on here that I'm going to Niagara Falls. I'm excited, yet nervous. I don't know why I should be nervous. Maybe it is the anticipation. I haven't even packed yet. Or booked a lodging or anything. I guess I will start packing tonight. If I remember. Time is running out to get ready. So I will have to wing it most of the way. Which I usually do anyway.

Yuck, I feel not so great right now. Probably means I at least need some rest, IF I cannot get to sleep. For a long time, I used to fall asleep to crime shows. Like true crime stuff. I don't know why that helped me sleep, but it did. Shows like 48 Hours Mystery, Dateline, and stuff like that. I know it sounds weird, but it worked. I stopped doing that. I started falling asleep to ACIM videos instead. Also I stopped watching the news. I don't have cable anyway so I just watch stuff on youtube or on the dare wall. Saves me money. Also, with Ad Blocker Pro, I don't have to sit through ANY ads. I even got it for youtube. SO handy. I wish I knew about it a long time ago. I got it from the google apps thingy on the google homepage.

Anyway, I got to TRY to sleep. Or I will keep feeling like this. Which I REALLY don't want to. I wish I knew why I felt like this. Maybe it is too hot in here. That could be a reason for not feeling well. Being too hot. It's nice that I have central air now. The summer before they installed it was SO hot. TOO hot.

Nighty night! Have a good day today, everyone!

Funny things happen when we sleep. I read in a book once that we hallucinate when we sleep. One of the common ones is the person at the end of the bed...Another one is spiders which Margo has on occasion. The one about the person at the end of the bed is interesting as as it leads to the development of the incubus phenomena. One of the other things that happen when we sleep is paralysis, this is to stop us from actually moving and physically doing the things we're dreaming about. Sometimes when we wake up we still can't move. Now, some people get both the "person at the end of the bed" hallucination" and the sleep paralysis which leads to the perception that they are being pinned down by something at the end of the bed.Which is pretty scary stuff but some people thought it was a demon called an incubus who basically "has their way" with the people and then lets them go. I think if the demon is a female it's a succubus

Interesting. You always tell me stuff I didn't know. Which I always like. I think I've spent too much time online tonight because I was looking for the 'like' button to 'like' your comment. But I realized that this isn't facebook. I must be losing it! Haha!
