omg....i need some help! i've been having some serious sleeping problems lately and this is so NOT me! i'm still someone who believes in adult napping....in the middle of the day. i dont know if its delayed jetlag since i had nothing pressing the week after i came back or if this is going to be the "medical issue" of 2008, sorta like how gastro problems were "the problem" for 2007.
so guess how i spent the night before i started the big job: tossing and turning and wide awake. i even got up before the alarm went off. NOT FUN! and plus you know the feeling when you start getting stressed out about falling asleep because you know you need to sleep but that backfires and you are even more wide awake? and then your head starts spinning with all sorts of strange thoughts? not a good way to start the first day of work...but at least i completely passed out the following night at around 9:30 PM...and slept like a baby!
oh and the job! so far...its looking pretty good and everyone is super nice and i'm actually having a rough time adjusting to working in such a flexible, friendly working environment (ie American) again! is that bizarre or what? like the job from hell actually brainwashed me and there were so many rules to follow and now i'm a bit loss when everything is so free and open! well, i'm sure i'll get over that pretty fast and i'm just happy to have my own cubicle again (sort of). at the job from hell, we all sat with our laptops at a long table with no privacy and no work space and we all shared phones and everything had to be locked up in our cubbies when we left for the day. its nice to have a real desk. strange what little things make you happy....and i'm VERY happy to not be on billable hours anymore (which is what i was on at the job from hell) and being under so much pressure to make sure that every hour of the workday could be potentially billed to a client. ahh...nice relief.
now...off to bed...well, trying to get back on a good sleeping schedule. i think the insomnia the other night helped a lot. any and all suggestions are welcome though!

sounds like stress is the big factor! i find routine really helps (going to bed and waking up at the same time *every day*).. you may always want to increase your B12 vitamins too (preferably in a liquid form that you put under your tongue to absorb) -- helps both with stress and sleeping. it works like a charm in our house.
hope everything sorts itself out soon! and no jinxing it -- it may just be the issue of january 2008, not all of 2008! :)
btw, love the new layout!
i'm so happy to hear all that!! ugh, i can't believe the old job had you guys all at one big table.. how awful! i think you'll get used to a nice environment REALLY quickly ;-)
