facebook Q

[arguchik]

can anyone tell me why facebook might be sending me multiple notifications per event? yesterday i got no fewer than 7 notifications telling me that someone had verified information i entered about how we know each other. i'm quite certain the person didn't verify the information 7 times... does this happen to anyone else?

in other news, i took a benadryl to help me sleep last night. i was having a fit of anxiety-induced insomnia, which was odd because my sleep has been quiet and steady for several months now. unfortunately, i waited to take it until 3:30am because i kept thinking i'd be able to get myself to sleep naturally. nope. took the drug. now i don't want to see anything other than the insides of my eyelids for another 3-4 hours. it is 9am. i don't want to keep sleeping!

Speaking of sleep . . .

I had a lot of trouble with insomnia every month or couple of months or so until rojonoir pointed out it was cycle-related. Then it took me about a year to believe it. Then I'd have my wired nights and think, "No big deal, it's just my hormones." Just a thought . . .

oh, there's no question that there's a hormonal component. i sometimes don't like admitting it, but it's very clear--especially because it has intensified since i went off the pill a couple of years ago.

i always say that at a certain time every month (usually the 2-3 days prior to, and the first day of, my period), i am "primed" to have more intense and emotional responses to things that happen in my life. if something good happens, i will be elated; if something bad happens, i will be in despair; and if there's something stressing me out, i'll have a full-on anxiety attack complete with insomnia.

so what do you do when the insomnia hits you? have you figured out a better way than benadryl to get some sleep?
