I've been having insomnia ever since I started boot-camp, which sucks any time, but especially when you have to get up at 5 a.m. every day and then chase kids all day. Even when I've been exhausted all day, I love to stay up late doing the things I don't get to do during the kids' waking hours. Things such as reading, having adult conversation with Ty, watching tv, folding laundry...it doesn't sound extremely exciting, but I look forward to this time all day long and I'm not about to give it up to go to bed early.
My problem is that the minute I get to bed and calculate the hours I have to sleep before I have to get up, I panic. I tell myself I have to fall asleep IMMEDIATELY or I'm going to pay for it the next day. Panic results in insomnia, which I've been paying for each day for 3 weeks now. I'm in agony each morning when the alarm rings, but after that I'm surprisingly only a little bit tired. My mind on the other hand is only functioning at about 75% of normal.
I hear people with insomnia start "losing it." Fortunately, I only have one week to go.

I totally understand. Well... I understand about the staying up too late...I can honestly say I'll probably never know what it's like to get up at 5AM for boot camp! (Though I wish I would!)
hooray for naps (hopefully you aren't staying awake all day too)
My naps were saving me up until the last few days. Now I can't even nap. All I can say is hooray for the weekend!!
I am the same way when it comes to going to bed at a decent hour-I hate losing out of my "me time." The babies wake up regularly at 5:00am and luckily Tucker has been a huge help to start feeding the twins so i get an extra hour of precious sleep!
