Want sleep....

sailorzeoI hate when I go to bed at a decent hour, and my body rebels. I slept well enough until 1 am, when suddenly, I was awake. I squinted at the clock, and thought it said something like 4:30, which is only an hour and a half before the alarm goes off. Not a problem.
But something didn't seem right. I'd set the bread maker to have a loaf finished at 6 am. 4:30 would have been halfway through the cycle; I should have smelled something by then, but hard as I could try, I didn't. So I tried to squint at the clock again. 1:15. I hate being blind.
I tried everything I could think of. Got up, used the bathroom, blew my nose, put my earplugs back in (I'd pulled them out when I thought it was 4:30), went back to bed. Nothing. Tossed and turned for another 45 minutes before giving up and coming out to the computer. No use staying in bed, wide awake, tossing and turning and kicking Matt every time he snored.
The thing that really annoys me about waking up like that is that invariably, about an hour after giving up and getting up, my neck and shoulders start screaming in pain. And I _am_ tired, I just can't sleep. The only thing I did differently was taking a Claritin-D before bed with my other pills, since I'm starting to get congested at night again. Usually those make me woozy. Not tonight.
Oh well, I'm starting to yawn, and the bread machine did kick on about half an hour ago, so I know the timer works. I think I'm going to take some Advil for the pain, and see if I can't sleep another 3 hours.
