Sleep
I have been sleeping rather well lately. I quit taking sleep aids at the beginning of last week - and not only am I sleeping better, but I feel better in the morning. For awhile I had been taking Lorazepam/Ativan, and I really (really) like that. But I've heard it's not good to get in the habit of taking it night... because it can be habit-forming. So then I switched to otc Melatonin (10 mg). I've been taking it for awhile. I really left me feeling groggy in the morning, and sometimes I wasn't sure how good it really worked. Seemed like I would wake up around 4 am or so. I still seem to wake up before the alarm goes off, but it's a comfortable awake, and I can drift back off to sleep. I also like the lack of grogginess in the morning. I slept like a rock last night.

Wish I could say the same. It has just become an issue, which is why I can't remember words like "escrow". I did get to bed earlier last night, and when I inevitably woke up I did a shot of ZZzQuil, but still had a two hour layover waiting for the dream weaver train. Hopefully my upcoming vacation will reboot me.
"When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest."
-All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night stanza 5
"Oh May my soul on Thee repose,
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I away"
All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night stanza 4
Opps...to serve my God when I awake!
