Today as I lay in bed sick, I realized that there are some key components of staying healthy in life that my body has tried to banish that I need back into my life. The biggest and most important one is sleep, followed by regular exercise (this includes eating right).
In high school I developed insomnia (which I have a vague idea of some specify instances that might of triggered it), which is something that I haven’t found an end-all solution to. This insomnia hits me in cycles, sometimes I will have the ability to wind down and sleep normally for a few days or weeks, and then other times I will have trouble sleeping for days, weeks, or months. Since my recent life changing experiences (i.e. divorce), the insomnia has hit me with a lot more driving force and I have been experiencing sleepless night more and more often. I’ve spoken to a doctor about my insomnia (not as the primary subject, the primary subject being the migraines I have and the secondary subject being my insomnia), and he agrees that my insomnia is causing me to have the serve migraines that I have.
I feel like if I could get my life back on a healthy schedule of sleeping right and mix that in with regular exercise then I will start to see my sleep schedule start to get back to a more reliable schedule (not to say that I will not experience the insomnia from time to time). If I can do that, then I think that I might be able to defeat this sickness that I have.
