Been gone for awhile, but I've been very busy. I've been interviewing for jobs and getting ready to go back to school.
I can't sleep right now, I've had sleep paralysis two days in a row. Luckily, my sleep paralysis is fairly mild in that I don't get the hallucinations that can accompany them. I just wake up and can't move my body or open my eyes. In some ways it's better than the Night terrors I used to get. I haven't had one of those in awhile but I might, since those usually happen if I have sleep paralysis too often. I've had it so often I've learned to just focus on a finger or toe and try to move that way. I can even calm myself down that I'll float between sleep and wakefulness. The thing I hate about it is that it feels like it lasts forever although it only lasts a few minutes. I'm never fully rested when I get up and I'm often cranky. So I'm trying to get to a certain level of sleepiness at the moment to get myself ready for sleep.
