Mr. Sandman, LEAVE ME ALONE

From time to time, I go through these periods where I just cannot stay awake.  The last week or so has been like that.  Yesterday I got up around 7 or 8am.  Later I went back to sleep and slept until around 5:30PM.  I really don’t like this pattern when it hits.  Right now I’m very sleepy as I type this.Cant Stay Awake

I have been resisting it on many of the days.  Drinking coffee to stay awake.  Sometimes that didn’t work either.  I always blamed it on lupus but the doctor  said people don’t usually go to sleep with lupus.  I asked some of my lupus friends and they said yes, it happens to them.  One called it a coma sleep.  I prefer to call it the zombie sleep.

I feel sleepy after writing the above.  Now its another day, I’ve been awake for an hour and I’m falling back to sleep again!  I just “ordered” some coffee but Jessie is not yet moving, but since she’s curled up around me, I guess I’ll get over it. :)

I believe I need to stay awake, go for a walk and see if that wont get me back on a human schedule.  Getting a bit concerned at this point but usually if I just go ahead and “sleep it off,”  the fatigue that is, I perk right back up.  Usually doesn’t take this long.
