It's always taken me a little bit to fall asleep at night, but it seems theses past few weeks it takes forever to fall asleep and the quality of sleep is low, i usually wake up a few times a night. For example yesterday night I was totally exhausted. I had worked at the barn from 8:30-2 and then at McDonald's from 4-12:30, I was phisically and mentally fried but as soon as I layed down my mind went into high gear and it took me well over an hour to fall asleep. I feel tired all of the time and my mood has been swinging around a little bit, mostly toward the negative. I feel disconnected from what is going on around me. I try to sleep more, but it's starting to get to the point where I hate trying to go to sleep. My mind is loosing thoughts quicker and in the middle of tasks I totally forget what I am trying to do. I also haven't been feeling well for a few weeks, mostly feeling sick and a lot of headaches. I kinda feel like I'm sprinting at full throttle but going nowhere...

Could this be from stress? My stress level has skyrocketed with graduation coming, public speaking (which I HATE), and family tension. I am going to talk to my psychologist about this but I don't see him until Thursday and I haven't seen him for almost a month. Any ideas with how to handle this or how to fall asleep faster?

Blah, hope this made sense....
