[Kate*]

Go to bed between 4:30 and 5AM
Fall asleep at 6AM
Awake again at 11AM with depressing and dangerous thoughts
Back asleep by 12PM
Sleep until 4PM
Wake up in pain with a headache

This pattern NEEDS TO STOP, serves as an amazing escape, but it's miserable.

My invisible disability is more real than anyone else's right to speak for me.

So, since this is the first day in a while that I only got 3 hours of sleep, the neighbors decide to cut the grass in the freezing cold.

I guess I'm getting up after almost no sleep (and yes, a headache); perfect.

NO, I DO NOT want to eat homemade dip containing large amounts of mayonnaise that expired in SEPTEMBER! I won't risk ringing in the new year with food poisoning.

The ONE night a year you don't want to be tired at midnight and I'm falling asleep! What the hell?!
