Insomnia

Despite feeling nauseous and tired, I suffer from insomnia. Yes, I can't sleep. Not for the entire three weeks, of course, but for about four or five days following treatment. The doctor assures me it's common.

I walk daily, I try and do as many physical tasks around the house as I can manage. I get to bed at 11pm and read a book for an hour. Then it takes me another half an hour to fall asleep. By 6:30am (that's if I am lucky enough to sleep that long), I am ready to get up.

I lie in bed though, gazing at my sleeping husband. I know that when the alarm sounds, he will still be struggling to get up. I struggle to lie in bed. Of course I feel nauseous, and tired, but I can't sleep either! I don't care if it's common! It's annoying!!!
