Ever since the time change it's been a uphilll battle staying asleep. Our dog has a terrible habit of barking in the middle of the night, usually about 1:30 AM, and I have always had trouble going back to bed after such a rude awakening.
Yesterday I was like a zombie but I dragged myself to work anyway. I chugged about a liter and a half of Mountain Dew at lunch time to survive the rest of the day. I took an over-the-counter sleep aid to try passing out last night. Dog woke me up at 10:30 PM. I put her in her crate to punish her/shut her up, let her out about an hour later, and after that I tossed and turned to no avail, except this time I did it under a pill induced haze. I finally got in about three hours, which has been my normal rate since the beginning of the week.
Now I'm up again at my usual time and here's the million dollar question: should I call in sick? Do I have a valid excuse or am I just being lazy? Christ I don't know if I can go on like this. I'm usually kinda groggy at 7 but right now the room is spinning.
