Had a very disturbing dream that woke me up twice in the night so yes....I am battling the tired today at work.

Thank god I'm wearing my fleece though...It's so comfortable I could fall asleep at my desk.

I am trying to quit caffeine along with the regular Monday Morning Winter Blahs... its not going so well...

I have been sharting for couple of days, does that mean I suffer from S.A.D.?

Diet is also a big part of it. If you keep stuffing yourself with crap like fastfood, chips and high caffeine soft drinks / coffee then you won't have any energy and you won't be able to sleep properly.

I feel like a piece of crap. Not only does my body hurt for no apparent reason, but I am a useles piece of emotional baggage. I spent my money for lunch on donuts for my coworkers cos that;s the tradition if it's your b-day, you bring the stuff in. Now I don't have a lunch and I hate donuts. And I can't help but jsut want to run into the washroom and cry. This bday sucks the bag.

Ultra-Blah. *sigh*

...... lack of sunlight caused by the shorter and darker days of winter, darkened or indoor workplaces, and long cloudy spells have been linked to episodes of depression in people with SAD.

People with SAD who have episodes of depression in the winter usually live in areas far away from the equator, where there are shorter days in the winter months. You may be at higher risk for developing SAD if you live in areas such as Alaska and other northern states in the United States; Canada; or Scandinavian countries, although you can get SAD no matter where you live. You will usually begin to get symptoms of depression in the fall, need treatment throughout the winter, and get better in the spring and summer as the days lengthen.

I was unaware that such a 'disorder' existed.
With the amount of 'disorders' today .... who doesn't have one?

 

[opium_souldjah]

that's why people like that should be snow birds. People who go away somewhere warm during the winter to avoid the depression

I had a friend move to Mexico for this reason, the mountains killed her in the winter.

i am so having the winter blahs and with my combined insomnia it is not good! a lot of stuff has happened recently, and my brain has decided that bed time is a good time to think about things. how thoughtful. i am going to learn to meditate or something, or purchase an "off" switch for my brain.

have you ever practiced deep breathing? it really helps me when i've got stuff on my mind that's preventing me sleep.

i think it's a lovely female phenomenon that the more tired we are, the more our brains race. i wake up every morning at 5 now and have to read until i fall back asleep, just to stop THINKING so damned much.

i was trying to do that last night...then i started thinking again. it was working for a bit though, so i'll have to give it another go.

try counting backwards from a thousand. really focus on it. don't let any other thoughts in.

that and/or reading is what always saves me.
