Insomnia

I'm not sure why, but recently, sleepless nights have been getting the best of me. Although not uncommon for me to have an irregular sleep schedule, I had been pretty good as of late about going to bed at a regular hour and waking up at a normal time thanks to having work. However, for the past week or so, it's been seemingly impossible to get a good night's sleep.

Considering I've been getting about 3-5 hours of sleep every night, you can say work has been extremely difficult to focus on. I've had zero motivation to get things done, and yet I still manage to accomplish enough during my extremely tiresome state for my seniors and managers to not question me. It's still frustrating though.

I even went to sleep at 9pm the other night because I was exhausted - I was asleep the second my head hit the pillow. But alas, my body said, "Not today." I woke up again at midnight and then stayed awake until 4am. Like, please. Can I get a little decent rest here? I need it. I can feel how heavy my eyes are even now, but I can't sleep or else I'm going to wake up again at an ungodly time and have an even worse sleep schedule.

I'm sure I'm not the only one going through this, and I'm lucky to not be plagued with worrisome thoughts during the nights, which is what I'm assuming is what keeps most people awake during the dark hours. For me, I'm simply just trying to sleep, as opposed to being haunted by both sleeping and living nightmares. Please body, just let me sleep peacefully. :(
