Need Sleep

I have had the weirdest sleeping patterns. I have been going to sleep late and waking up early. I am very sleepy all day and you can tell because I have bags under my eyes. See I usually go to sleep early, around 10 or 11, during the week because I have to always be on alert with my students. Lately, I have been going to sleep around 1 or 2 in the morning. Then I need to be up by 6 in order to be at school by 7:30.

Before when I wouldn't get enough sleep I would take a nap after work and catch up a bit but I haven't been doing that lately. I have been on the go all the time. If it isn't because I'm doing something for school, then I am helping my brothers or my nieces. I am so tired and just want to go to sleep but I can't. I feel my tiredeness but I do not sleep.

Then when I finally go to sleep it isn't a sound sleep. I am always thinking of something and end up waking up. On Tuesday I went to sleep around 1 and ended up waking up again around 4:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. My brain is always on the move. I don't know why.

I figure I must be stressed but I have been stressed before and I have not been affected like I am now. As a result, I assume it must be something else. I don't know what it could be but I wish I did. All I want to do is sleep and rest. Not sleep and think. Maybe I should start taking some drugs to help me sleep. Well if things don't change soon I think I just might need to. I will wait it out because I also think that it might be because the new school year has started and my body is still accustomed to the summer hours. I just don't know. Though I have heard that it takes 13 days for your body to get accustomed to something new. It has been over 13 days since the new school year started.

I know my sleeping hours might not be bad for some people but it is unusual for me. We'll see how things go.
