A love story of sorts but I mention zombies for the holiday's sake.

It's not really insomnia when you sleep great during the day,

but can't at night because you pulled too many night shift jobs over the years.

I wrote about this hear some time ago when the doctors were still prodding me and having me lay on a table fully awake all night (but never tested me during the day.)

I have been on so many mild but damaging night time sleep aids over the last 30 years I have lost count. One was even taken off the market for causing permanent memory loss. I was going to write something related .. to... that...
Neverymind...

I now officially give up on pills unless they give me the strong stuff.

During the day I am sluggish at best - totally asleep at worst. Night time, sharp as a tack. It's 7:00 am and I have been up for 22 hours. There is no pill that will shut my brain off between 12:00 am and 8:00 am. So, I thought I would write a short one for the early risers.

Notice no Holloween tag :) ?
I guess I look like a zombie during the day so I won't even need a costume. <--- but that is me during the day time.

Yesterday, I was reading at article by @surfermarly who I have followed as long as I have been on the platform and I asked her to marry me. <--- but that is me during the day time.

No, I still meant it. I just loose inhibitions when I have not slept well. I should look up her town and see if it's near bed time there when it's 8;00 am here. By moving there I would solve two problems with one stone. We are waiting until after her presentation at (fest steem) to talk about the wedding. You are all invited. No date set yet.

Main theme - sleepless.

I am truly careful with pills

Generally too careful. I take a half of a sleeping pill and wait. If it doesn't work, then I take another half. The problem is they keep wearing off before I take the next one.

I refuse to take mind altering sleeping pills - the ones you have to take the rest of your life and you die or faint if you stop taking them abruptly. Never - nope.

So over the last few weeks I have let my pills run out and I don't buy more. I sleep when I am tired. which is sometimes inconvenient being out sawing-logs in bed while the teachers are calling you because your child is sick at school. yeah THAT can be embarrassing. Yes, school is in session for another month here in the underwear of the earth.

The sun is up and I thought about doing my night sleeping next to the pool.

I would likely be bacon-bob instead of sponge-bob after that

I just wanted to write something until I felt tired enough to roll over and go to sleep
(I may be looking for empathy from those who lay down and then just wake up in the morning)

Happy H and I didn't mention the flying, baggage, or fest thing for this platform.
(trying to be the only one who doesn't today .)

I'll have more to share and complain about shortly - thanks for stopping in.
