Warning: this is not spiritual.

I get 8-10 hours of sleep almost every night, usually 9-10, but sometimes and suffer and only get 8. I know, I know: poor me! You want to know the worst part? I'm still tired all the time! I don't know what my problem is! I have been sick recently, but I'm pretty much recovered. My mom asked me if I was depressed because I told her I have such a problem getting out of bed. I don't think I'm depressed; I'm not a bubbly person, but who is unless they're on drugs? I think I just really enjoy my king sized bed (if you don't have one, get one). She asked me if I was stressed at work...and that could be it because I'm one of those people who has a tough time leaving work at work. However, being the sometimes-pessimist that I am, I wonder if there's not something else going on with me. That thought is a little scary.

I wasn't always like this. In high school, I always got up for early morning seminary (mostly because I'd feel guilty if I slept in). I college, I didn't even think about starting homework until 11:30pm...even if I had that 8am class (I only made that mistake 1 semester). But since I've been out of college (and married for that matter), it doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get, I can always sleep more. I have the distinct talent of being able to fall asleep pretty much anywhere, anytime (except for stupid airplanes!) For the most part I'm cool with that. However, it's really enraging (when I have the energy) when I know I have ton of things to do, but can't seem to get them done because I'm tired. My poor husband sometimes has to get by on 4 hours of sleep (or less) and I complain that I'm tired when I got 10 hours!

For this reason, I finally made an appointment with the doctor...wish me luck.
