Well last night I had one of the greatest things happen to me. I actually got about nine hours of sleep! I know it is great. It is the first great sleep I have gotten in a while. Now I don't want to jinx it but I'm hoping my insomnia is starting to back off a little bit. I honestly hope it is because I am just to tired for it to go on. My body has not allowed me to just fall asleep like everyone else. I always feel like I have no energy; yet at the same time I feel wide awake and capable of anything. My body is just bipolar I swear.
Now not only does my body hate sleep, but I swear it doesn't allow itself to recover either. So last week was a rough week and many things happened. Many of the things that happened led to me getting not only emotionally hurt, but physically hurt to. I was stupid and would allow myself to literally tear itself apart for hours a day. Now I know me being in pain is my fault. No duh. But, it has never taken this long for a recovery either. Like a few pulled muscles should have gotten to be a little better by now one would think. Ya but not only is my body throwing a fit about not recovering from these past injuries, no but it keeps hurting itself. These new one I swear I have had nothing to do with. But like the past couple days my wrist is acting up again like it used to, my hip is going all whack, and my back has gone from being fine to once again cramping up.
Can't I just like send it a memo saying:
Hello body,
You do realize that I actually do have to do stuff during life. If you wouldn't mind cooperating with the rest of me and helping me out by stop hurting yourself and recover already it would be a great help. Maybe I might be in a better mood if you did this for me. Thanks!
Your friend,
Geoff
If he could cooperate with me life wouldn't be to bad. Like, at all bad. Ok maybe a little bad but I can't blame that on my body. Well I have been trying something new the past couple days and it seems to help with my sleep. Lets see if it can help with the rest of the healing process.

Sleep
Well for all those aware of it and all those who will now be informed of it, my insomnia is attacking worse than ever right now. Ok, its not to bad because I can still go throughout a day just fine with only a few hours of sleep. But what got me at least last night was that when i finally did go to bed there was a power surge. Ya power surge + needing your alarm clock to wake up for church = church - Geoff.
So last night I couldn't get to bed and actually ended up talking to one of my friends till 3:00 AM. I mean even when we ended the conversation I still wasn't even close to being tired; but you have the whole voice in the back of your head saying, "You are going to have to get up in five hours for church." Ya well needless to say set my alarm, crawled into bed, and actually got to bed fairly quickly. That right there is a miracle by itself actually.
I don't know what it is but apparently if I am just in a good mood when I crawl into bed I can get to bed fairly quickly after getting in there. So anyways, ya I was in a good mood going into bed and I crashed hardcore. Well like I said before, after I fall asleep we get hit with a power surge. Suck! Ya so I get like my 5 or so hours of sleep and I wake up and I am thinking, "Man my alarm hasn't gone off. Is it seriously before 8:00?" Ya I take a look at my alarm clock and it starts flashing like it does when it first gets plugged in. At that moment I'm pretty sure all that was going through my head was, "Dang it! I honestly can't miss church today." So i hastily pull myself out of bed and over to the desk. Flip open the phone and find out the church has already started and was already a good ways into the meetings. Well I drag myself out and over to the location of where the meeting was supposed to be. . .no one is there. I go over to another meeting place. . .no one is there. Then it dawns on me, today is ward conference and it is already over. Ya, not cool guys.
So overall me staying up late talking to my friend was a plus, me getting to bed quickly was a plus, me not getting more than 6 hours of sleep is a minus but also a normal, me getting scared when my alarm clock got reset is a minus, finding out I freaked out and got dressed super quickly is both a minus yet a plus. So if you add all of these elements together, I would like to claim that last night and this morning were positive experiences.
