my insomnia has eased and i am sleeping again. The NYTimes has been running a fantastic series on insomnia. Sometimes you feel like the only person in the world who can’t sleep. I love this quote in particular: Because insomnia is triggered, at least in part, by anxiety about insomnia, the worst thing we can do is think about not being able to sleep.
I went to a new doctor today and it was one of the strangest experiences i have ever had. What was supposed to be a routing checkup and prescription renewal for Ambien turned into a 2 hour lecture on how men are leaders and women partners and how i should pray before bed and read the Bible. He also put me in some sort of Medieval-looking contraption to check my posture and it turns out I have mild scoliosis and one shoulder is higher than the other. I probably should have gotten up and left near the beginning but i was so shocked and fascinated as to where he was going I stayed and listened. I eventually got my prescription. I will not see him again, though.
