My dreams were troubled, and full of Tyranosaurs. ---

Sorry to hear that. I slept well last night, but woke up tired anyway. I was tired all day, but now that it is part 11pm I am alert and ready to be productive. I am way too nocturnal for my own good. ---

I didn’t either. But I think it was more because of the controlled detonations and F-16s and Medevac choppers taking off and landing than anything else. ---

If it helps at all, my husband woke up last night yelling that he was covered in lobsters. ---

I didn’t sleep well last night, either. I had a sort-of-interview meeting with an HR guy at a job I think I would very much like to be offered today. I almost never sleep well the night before an interview, phone interview, or interview-like thing. ---

I didn’t sleep well either. Woke up alot, and the random bits of dream I remember involved me trying to get to a doctor, but I don’t remember why, and wanting a glass of water all the taps were running brown water. Yuck! ---

When I was little I had a nightmare once that I was covered in ants. It was terrible. When I woke up I found myself covered in ants. That was _really_ terrible. ---

With me it was the bears. Maybe only on bear, but it kept jumping on me–and we were in the house. What’s a bear doing in my house? ---

I have a fear of heights. Hate to be anywhere above the 5th floor. I had a dream the other day that I was trying to leave a high-rise, from like the 10th floor. I get on the elevator, and before I can push “1” this drunk chick gets on and punches some other button … I look over and she’s pushed the button for the 155th FLOOR !! My brain exploded at that point and I woke up pissed. Heh. ---

The people in the room next to mine started playing music at 4 AM. I subsequently slept in and missed my first class. I hate being such a light sleeper. ---

Everyone in my house went to bed at 11 last night, but I wasn’t tired yet. So I watched a movie until 1:30 AM, then went to bed. And who should I see in my spot but my lovely snoring 70-pound labrador? I kind of pushed her out of the way, trying not to wake up my bedmate. Note: trying to move a big sleeping dog is not the easiest thing in the world to do. So we’re sort of both squashed together on the same side of the bed. Did I mention that my dog dreams just about every night? And that whenever she dreams, she kicks in her sleep? Yeah, I didn’t sleep well either. ---

Speaking of not sleeping well, I currently have a prescription for Celexia (for anxiety) and Levitra (for boners 😛 ). The other night, while on the computer, I absentmindedly took the wrong bottle, removed 2 pills and took them without thinking. Later I discovered rather than taking 2 pills of Celexia like Im supposed to every night, I took 2 pills of Levitra. 2 of those pills is _four times_ the dosage :eek: I didn’t get one of those 4+ hour erections you’re supposed to call the doctor about (call the doctor? I’m calling _everybody!_ 😛 ) but I sure didn’t sleep well! In addition to having ‘withdrawl’ symptoms of not having the antidepressants, the levitra made my whole body (particularly my face) feel hot and sweaty. I was sweating buckets that night, but had no idea why until I realized my mistake later :smack: ---

I didn’t sleep well, either. Kept dreaming that I needed to use up the spaghetti sauce I had made earlier in the week. I’d wake up all disoriented, fall back asleep, and dream about the spaghetti sauce. Except… I didn’t make any spaghetti sauce last week. Stoopit brain. ---
