A brief update regarding my previous post:
Due to my inability to bring myself to go to sleep at the ungodly early hour of ten o'clock each night, I did actually purchase the sleeping pills I mentioned in the last post, a Tylenol product called "Simply Sleep". I must say, they do work wonders in actually getting me to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep throughout the night. I'm not quite sure yet, however, that they actually do anything about the most pertinent problem: preventing the weak, tired, and all-around not good feeling that seems to coincide with each of my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. So far, I've still been rather groggy throughout the day and have still ended up taking short naps whenever possible. On a good note, I am feeling slightly better today than I have been.
Also, last week, my dad purchased "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One" for me, and I have been enjoying it ever-so-much since then! Thanks, dad! Now I can actually listen to the album while I'm away from my computer and access to the internet... a great luxury, if I do say so myself.
