just another false alarm

[velshtein]

I've been getting headaches every day for like a week or two now. Which is unusual for me. The last time this happened was when my eye prescription decided to randomly improve (after staying the same for years and years and years) and my glasses were too strong for a couple of months.

I don't think my eyes have changed recently. The only thing I can really think of is that I haven't been sleeping through the nights for a couple of weeks now. Like I'm generally getting a full night's sleep every night but it's broken up halfway through the night. I GUESS THAT DOESN'T REALLY COUNT AS A FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP THOUGH LMAO.

I started taking valerian root at night instead of melatonin. Melatonin works fabulously at putting me to sleep but it sends my mood into a hilarious spiral downwards. Which wasn't fun. The valerian root so far seems to be working great at putting me out AND also doesn't seem to be affecting my mood at all, other than maybe making me feel calmer? I think.

OH NO!!!! Do you notice any patterns to you waking up in the middle of the night?? Like sleeping past this time, eating this, watching Hannibal harhar????

I heard people get sort of accustomed to melatonin to the point where its harder to sleep without it. Has that happened?? But I'm SUPER HAPPY to hear the alternative is working!

Ggehgueghuh I don't think it's about staying up lmao. And weirdly enough since I wrote this post, it hasn't happened again LMAO. I think it's just stress and the weather changing so it's warmer than usual.

Omg. I didn't know that, but it does make sense. I WILL HAVE TO EXPERIMENT AHHHAHAAH.

LMAO that happens to me too sometimes when I write about problems here. DWing just sucks it dryyyy.

Ah yeah, I can see that. I stopped using two huge ass blankets and it made a pretty big difference.

OMG don't deprive yourself of anymore sleep hahahaha
