My dad is an awesome, Jesus-loving, hard-working, truly amazing person.
However, I am discovering an area I really DON'T want to be like him. His sleeping patterns. My dad (like his dad before him) suffers from terrible insomnia. We wakes us raring to go at 2 or 3 AM. It doesn't matter what time he goes to bed, no matter how hard he works the day before, he's tried several sleeping medications, he's had a sleep study done. But still no luck. So he's resigned to this pattern (much like his father before him was) and goes to bed about 8 and gets up around 3AM.
Last week after being really frustrated with not sleeping I called my doctor who gave me some Ambien. It was really great the first few days. However, here at day 4 or 5, it doesn't appear to be working. I did fall asleep and slept for several hours, I just woke up about midnight and can't get back to sleep.
So-- I am about to discover the convenience of a 24 hour gym.
