I have written before about my insomnia on this blog, but to be honest, I’m starting to think LaShawn sleeps for both her and I. Seriously. I so rarely fall asleep quickly and I wake up quickly when I do fall asleep so I’m just thinking that she sleeps for both of us.

Now before my mom passed away in 2005, she used to tell me that I was always this way – that nothing they did could get me to start sleeping and sleeping when I should. Of course, now they have all sorts of pills to make you sleep when they want you to and be awake when they want you to. Myself, I think it’s stupid to take pills to be “normal” just because what is normal for *you* isn’t normal for everyone else. I’d rather sleep during the day and be awake all night than deal with all those pills.

I’ve asked for a sleep study before, but my doctor just looks at me and says he thinks it is because my pets sleep with me and tells me to keep them out of my bedroom. I can’t do that because the cats’ food is in the bedroom. I could move the cats’ food, but they are used to the food being where it is and I don’t want to change it on them. They don’t handle change well.

I don’t show any of the normal sleep apnea symptoms so he doesn’t believe I have sleep apnea, he just thinks I’m not getting a good night’s sleep because I have pets in the room with me. *rolls eyes* I’m surprised he doesn’t tell me it’s because I’m fat!
