So the Lunesta seems to be working after all. Although I’m able to fall asleep, I’m having problems staying asleep. For evidentiary purposes, let’s take a quick look see at my latest sleep/awake times:

Friday night 8/19: Asleep by 2:30 am (stayed awake on purpose to sleep in on Saturday morning)
Saturday morning 8/20: awake by 7:19 am
Saturday night: none (moved SOL to the new datacenter)
Sunday morning: Fell asleep around 8:30 am
Sunday afternoon: Despite being awake for 25 hours, woke up around 11:50 am
Sunday night: Asleep by 10:45 pm
Monday morning: Awake by 6:10 am
Monday night: Asleep by midnight
Tuesday morning: Awake by 5:00 am when Amy got up to go to the gym
last night: Asleep by 8:30 pm
this morning: Awake by 1:50 am (came into work around 4 am)

I won’t sleep again until Friday night because we’re moving 13 critical servers tonight during the maintenance window.

So what gives? Stress? I don’t think so. 1) I’m not that susceptible to stress and 2) the hardest part was completed on Saturday. It’s just the instant I wake my mind is racing instead of the usual 1-3 hours it normally takes to ramp up to something resembling consciousness.

And just because I’m spending so much time at work does not mean that I’m being productive. I’m in such a daze that doing almost anything minor is nearly impossible to force myself to do. Little administrative tasks are piling up and will soon stretch 5/8 the of the way to the moon. I haven’t ridden in nearly 10 days and I’ve completely lost the desire to do so. I’m also pining for some alone time. Everyday is meeting after meeting after meeting and all I think about in them is just sleeping or vegging. I feel like Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys where he’s in the asylum staring up at the TV and just drooling. Just give me my Thorazine drip now, please.
