1) Every morning around 3:30 am, you realize, "Hey. I'm awake. And I've been awake for a while. How did that happen?"
2) You keep a flashlight, book, and your reading glasses on the bedside table in case said event occurs.
3) Any time you sit on your sofa around the hour of 7 pm, thirty minutes later you're asleep. And when lying in bed after waking up on said couch, it takes a good hour to fall asleep again.
4) You can't remember the last time you slept through the night. Or at least, you can't remember what it felt like.
5) You stooped to searching in your husband's medicine bag for Nyquil.
6) You ask yourself, "So, what would it take to get a prescription for Ambien?"
7) You find yourself getting emotional when watching "Lost."
8) You find yourself getting emotional when trying to pick between 2 temp jobs that take place during the same week.
9) You find yourself trying not to get emotional on the phone with the lady at the temp agency.

10) You consider doing the unthinkable, and actually drinking warm milk, straight up, to make you sleepy at night. I mean, you read it in a book once. It could be legit. And you're desperate.

Sarah your blogs are hilarious. I am sorry you can't sleep but you write about it so gracefully! Let me know if you are in Irvine soon so we can get together. We can get Golden Spoon, which is made of dairy, which if made warm could make you fall asleep (although falling asleep into your yogurt might not be the best option). There is also the factor that warm yogurt doesn't taste all that good, and in fact would no longer be yogurt since it would be a milky liquid. In summary, eating yogurt with me will do absolutely nothing to help your sleeping problem, but it would make this girl quite happy. :)
Girl... are you pregnant already?! Just kidding. Love you and miss your face!
Sometimes I think about all the women I know who are post kids, and none of them sleep well. I wonder if the body can be tortured into forgetting how to sleep and it can never be retrained to do what we all did so well in our teenage years.
