12:30am

Waking up at 12:30 am and thinking it is 3:30am could be a good thing. it would mean I really get three more hours of sleep than I thought I would get. However it also means the last two hours of sleep that I got were not peaceful. I was tossing and turning so much you would have thought that it had been five hours. Tonight, or this morning, (however you want to think of it) I have traced the cause of my insomnia to two possibilities...or maybe a combination of the two.

1. I finished the cup of coffee I had been reheating in the microwave all day at 4:30 in the afternoon. In my defense it was a 24 oz. mug.

2. Taking Midol Max at 6:30pm might not be the best idea, but it was necessary, trust me.

By the way, as I lay in bed thinking about it for the past 30 minutes, I think drinking 24 oz. of coffee and taking two Tylenol or Ibuprofen might be the same as taking two Midol Max. I'm just saying - same ingredients...
