Junk

After feeling better much too soon on Wednesday evening, I am home again today with a massive headache. It developed overnight and I woke up at 5:15 a.m. after having the most chill-inducing, scream-worthy nightmare I’ve had in years. It was so horrifying I don’t even want to discuss it in detail. It was almost like a sleep-paralysis episode, but I have those when trying to fall asleep, not when waking up. I know you can have them when waking up (with hypnopompic hallucinations). I just never do. Perhaps this was one of those times. This nightmare was about my Dad – who died unexpectedly a year-and-a-half ago. Maybe I’m still experiencing some post-traumatic stress? I honestly can’t believe more research hasn’t been done into the relationship between sleep/sleep deprivation, stress, sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress, and hormone levels and their effect on each other. From my own experience and reading other’s blogs the fact that there is a relationship seems pretty crystal clear. The Health industry really sucks.

In better news, last night before I got sick again I posted an entry on The New Kids On The Block reunion over at the Project Absurd blog. Check it out. I’ll try to post something interesting here if I feel better later.
