o sleep.

so one of my new years resolutions is to sleep.
and i have my friend melatonin to help me.



it's a natural supplement that helps you enter into deep sleep. it's pretty mild and is all natural so i feel pretty ok with it.
in fact i love it.

i actually read the bottle (i'm not always so good at that game) and saw that you're supposed to take a week off every two months. and this is my week without it. it also happens to be the worst week i've had in a little while.

so i'm angry. and i can't sleep.

and not sleeping makes you crazy. and after a few months of sleeping well, not sleeping feels horrible. i can feel the difference of being healthy and now feeling sleeplessly crazy. so today as i've been feeling the weight of not sleeping well for several days I've been thinking about the way God made us.
we're made to need sleep. when we don't rest we are different people. less ourselves. it's one of the many ways God invites us to remember that we are human, not God.

i'm ending my week a day short, because i need to stop feeling crazy. o sleep. i love thee.
