Ive been awake since 12am yesterday, with 3 hours of very light resting scattered in between. By that i mean I am conscious enough to have conversations but rest enough to play through dreams (like ill prompt dreams in my awake state and itll happen in my semi sleep state). I had an upset stomach and tried everything to get myself to sleep, other meds for the stomach ache, a shower, a fan, etc. Gravol and Dramamine usually knock me out but I was wide awake much to my despair. Once a year I accidentally switch my morning and night meds and im certain thats what happened. Im pissed at myself because I had to call out of work today for feeling absolutely like trash. I am so reliant on sleep medication, it was bad before because id wake up every hour or so. Now if I dont take them I end up never going to sleep. I hate being this reliant on them that an accident can completely derail me for days. I took some sleeping pills now so hopefully ill be knocked out and get some sleep soon. I hate getting over tired because my heart starts feeling weird and my eyes feel strange. Last time something like this happened was 2 years ago while I worked a night shift and needed to apply to uni in the morning but ran into some issues and ended up being on the phone for several hours. That day was around 23-25hrs.
