Leave my door open just a crack, 'cause I feel like such an insomniac. Why do I tire of counting sheep? When I'm far too tired to fall asleep.

It's 4.30pm.

So I haven't slept for 29 hours and counting... I also haven't eaten for 14 hours, since dinner last night.
I'm tired and hungry, but way too much to eat or sleep.
I've been drinking Diet Coke all day so I'm kinda wired, and it kills my appetite, so I guess that hasn't helped.
I went to the library today and did a lot of homework, which was good.
I have severe insomnia, and it's what's on my mind right now, so I'm gonna write about it.

So, I don't usually sleep 'til 3,4,5am, no matter how tired I am. It makes me very tired during the week when I have to get up for school, although I'm often an hour or more late.
I'm on prescription sleeping pills from my doctor, but I'm not allowed them every night because they aren't meant to be prescribed to under-eighteens, which I am. So they do help, but only when I use them. And recently I seem to have built up a resistance to them.
I like the night, when only I am awake, and I can just wander around the house and watch some awful late-night TV and whatever, but I loathe the morning. It is by far my least favourite time of day.
I'm not over-stressed, I exercise enough and I don't try to stay up late. My doctor has no idea why I can't sleep and nor do I. All I can say is that I really don't like it.

Anyway, I'm not usually so gloomy, I'm really quite a cheerful individual, but I'm just so tired right now.
And if it isn't the most articulate journal ever, put that down to tiredness too.

Do share if you suffer the same plight =)

EDIT: It's 21:46 and I'm walking on sunshine, I just slept for 4 1/2 hrs. =) Seriously, I feel loads better.
