valkryorFor someone who always thought she didn't have delicate sleeping patterns, I have some pretty fucking delicate sleeping patterns.
I woke up with a headache again this morning. The cause? The wrong kind of sleep. Sounds odd, but I've experienced it before I became pregnant. The only difference this time is the headache is a lot more intense and doesn't dissipate after an hour or so.
And waking up with a headache ruins your entire day.
What I should be doing is taking that 6 hours of sleep at night gratefully and snagging an hour or two in the afternoon. What I should not do is get that six hours, then go back to bed when I'm mostly awake (even though I'm still tired and need another hour or two). That extra time in bed is a guarantee of a throbbing skull when I finally decide it's time to face the world.
The topper to all of this? I'm still exhausted and crawling back into bed is a reasonable choice right now. Don't want to, though. Don't want to make the pounding worse. Today, it seems, I can't win.
