The After Midnight Mirapex Blues
Here it is almost 1:30am and I am awake.
And this has become my norm.
Bed at maybe 3am when my body and mind just crash.
Up at 7 or 8am feeling like the Tin Man from the Wizard Of Oz looking for his lost oil can.
I am usually okay in the morning, then I take the Mirapex and an hour or so later I am groggy, my thinking clouded and confused, my energy down to almost nil. Sleeping if I sit still for more than 5 minutes.
Like old people.
Mirapex has this affect I am told, switches with your circadian rhythm.
But I push myself.
I have to.
Because unless I intend to spend my time haunting the all-night Walmart, the real world keeps daylight hours. I have to be up, make myself function as a sleepwalker in the world of the well rested.
