Wouldn't you think that "insomnia" means that you are sleeping? "Somnia" equals sleep in Latin. So shouldn't it be "in"-"sleep"? But apparently in Latin, "in" means "not". How does that make sense? But the Latin meaning is pretty much what I've been experiencing lately. "Not sleep." At the beginning of all of this broken leg stuff, I had these little things:
A little of this every 6 hours, a little of that every alternating 6 hours. Some of that other thing every 8 hours. Not to mention all those vitamins and minerals. Phew! I had a virtual pharmacy in my bedroom. No wonder I was sleeping well! Maybe I slept too much those first weeks... now that I don't have those little wonder pills, I have to do it all on my on. My body is paying me back for all of the abuse and is making up for it. So if you ever want to know what 3 a.m. is like, I got the down-low on that one.
