Insomnia Much?

In my 36 years, sleep hasn't been an issue for me. I can sleep anywhere in any situation, no problem! I can't sleep late, but I can fall asleep! Well, that's changed recently and I'm not a fan of it!

I'm convinced that my lack of being able to turn my brain off and go to sleep is a side effect of my anti-malaria medicine I started taking back in June, which is right around the time I started having sleeping issues. Last night I googled side effects of this particular medicine and  nowhere  did it say that  insomnia was a side effect. AARP and WebMD both confirmed this, I think they are wrong. Generally medicine has the opposite effect on me. If I smell NyQuil, it knocks me out  for 3 days! I avoid certain medicines because they take forever to leave my system and I'm loopy for about a week!

While I'm googling last night, instead of sleeping, I also searched for the following information.
-Is Mount St. Helens predicted to erupt anytime soon? The answer is no, but it will erupt again.
- Does crying make you fall asleep? Yes, it does help induce sleep. Crying may be inevitable for me if this keeps up.
-What are symptoms  of sleep deprivation? My favorite is "klutz". What?? All I could then think about was that I have been sleep deprived my whole life and had no clue.

Around 11:00 last night, I thought if I rearranged my bedroom furniture, maybe I could fall asleep. It's at this point that I realize that there is no good way to move my furniture around and give up on the idea.

My co-worker suggested journaling before bed....does blogging in the afternoon count?

I finish the malaria medicine tomorrow, so hopefully  I'll get some sleep soon. In the meantime, I'm wondering if malaria is really worse then sleep deprivation?!?!
