I mentioned last time that I’ve had an unusually hard time falling asleep — but I was still always managing to get to sleep by around 1:00 or 1:30. Things seem to have gotten worse for me as far as falling asleep goes, with the past two nights being around 4:00 a.m. before I’m able to get to sleep.

I’m not sure what the change is, except for the fact that I’m now at home and back from vacation. You would think that being at home would allow me to sleep better — but it seems it’s the opposite.

The problem is also that I wake up extra early, and then can’t fall back to sleep. This morning I was awake at around 7:00 a.m. (yes, after falling asleep at 4, it wasn’t very pleasant).

When I wake up so early, I horrible disequilibrium, and then I can’t fall back to sleep because of it. This then leads me to being awake for a few hours, and then wanting to sleep until the afternoon (which I unfortunately can’t do because I have to go to work).

I’ve tried just getting up so that I can try to tire myself out — but no matter how tired I am during the day, I never seem to be tired in the evening. My balance is usually better in the evening, and I wonder if my brain is just trying to prolong the times where I feel better.

Anyway, I’m hoping that I get a decent amount of sleep tonight, because being tired all the time is no fun, and makes my balance much worse.
