Thank you, Yaowen. I guess it will pass. These episodes always do.

Last night I woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep. I stayed in bed and drifted into semi-sleep for 20 minutes here and 30 minutes there. Night is supposed to be our escape from the cares of the day. That's what the human species evolved to have as a norm. When I feel bad all day and then there's no reprieve at night, it's too much.

For a while recently I was having halfways decent nights. I went to the gym yesterday to exercise, so I would tire and have an easier time going to sleep. I fell asleep okay, but couldn't stay asleep.

I try various meds that I've got lying around. Nothing works much.
