insomnia

it's past 2 in the morning and i am searching google for some facts about insomnia. here are some of the things i found.

Symptoms of insomnia may include:

* Inability to get enough sleep at night
* Waking up too early
* Waking up feeling tired, even after a full night's sleep
* Daytime fatigue or sleepiness
* Daytime irritability
* Difficulty falling asleep at night
* Waking up during the night

Insomnia can cause problems during the day, such as sleepiness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. A person with insomnia may also have another sleep disorder such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless legs syndrome.

Insomnia is not defined by the number of hours you sleep every night. The amount of sleep a person needs varies. While most people need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night, some people do well with less, and some need more.

those that are highlighted are some symptoms that i've been experiencing for the past weeks. i have no idea how it started, but i suddenly found myself always awake at 1:30am onwards. i'll be able to sleep again at around 4am then i'll wake again at 7am. when i'm at work, i always feel sleepy and tired no matter how noisy my students are. during my break, i would rather sleep than eat. aaarrgghhh... this is really frustrating me. i'll be studying again this semester so i need all the sleep that i can get at night. i just hope that i'll get really tired during the day so that i will not have a difficult time falling asleep at night. in a few hours, i have to be at work to welcome my students on their first day of school. i hope that i won't look like a zombie upon greeting them or else they will never go to school again. talk about first day traumas. haha.
