what to do..... what to do........

How does a person get back to a normal sleep schedule??? It is 6:00 in the morning and I went to bed at 3:00. I think I am getting my really bad headaches from not getting enough sleep. The DPD called our house at 5:50. Shawn was having a stomach problem this morning and normally he is the first one there in the mornings, so I guess they thought he over slept. Nice of them to call just incase. It just woke me up and I wasn't able to go back to sleep. Although now, I am starting to get sleepy again. Anyway, back to my sleep schedule, this week I kind of screwed it up bad because on Wedensday I got off work and had an awful headache and we didn't have any pm medicine so we went to walmart and got nyquil, well instead of only taking 1, I thought I would take the two pills. Yea, the next morning Shawn woke me up at 10 and I was still very very drowsy, I got up, got ready, and pretty much slept on the way to amarillo, through most of our errands, and on the way back, and instead of staying awake when we got back I slept up until 5 and that was because I had to be at work at 6. Very very bad idea, because I got home and even though I was tired I couldn't go to sleep. I ended up going to sleep at 5:30 yesterday morning. I only slept till 9 hoping I would get off work and be able to go to bed, but no such luck! I just want to be on some what of a normal sleep schedule when school comes around, seeing how I have to leave here between 6:00 /6:30am in order to get to school and get a good parking spot. I feel like I have tried everything except taking sleeping pills everynight and that is not something I am going to do. Like, taking warm/hot baths, reading, looking at the clock,..... Anyway, if you have any suggestions please please let me know! What is crazy is that when Shawn and I first got married I was the one that had to be in bed by 10/ 10:30 in order to function the next day. Once I quit AIG, my body's sleep schedule thing changed. I don't know if it was because I didn't have a whole lot of stress then or what? I noticed towards the end of my time at buckner that I was starting to have to be in bed by 10 because my boss well you know the deal.... so maybe once school starts and the more stress comes in to my life I will be able to sleep. oh wow, anyway I am going back to bed!

Do you like hot tea? If so they have a tea called sleep ezee and it might help. Or maybe you could bake a turkey - cause you know it has something in it to make you sleep.

When this happens do you usually go back to normal after getting a couple of nights sleep?
