I need a nap

I keep waking up anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours before I need to get up in the morning. No matter how much I try to “clear my mind” I’ve been unsuccessful at falling back asleep. Every twenty minutes or so I open my eyes to see a) how much time has passes since the last time I checked the clock or b) how much time I’ve got left until I have to get up. I will say that the majority of what’s rattling around in my brain at that time of the morning has something to do with Dad and this overwhelming situation I find myself in but I used to get this sort of thing occurring at night when I would try to fall asleep.

I’m the kind of person that loves to sleep until the very last possible second. I time everything out to the very last minute so I can the maximum sleep in my “allotted” time. So knowing that two hours are slipping away and I don’t seem to have any control over it, drives me crazy.

I didn’t get to bed last night until 1 am, which means that I may have fallen asleep somewhere around 1:20 / 1:30 am, so waking up at 5:30 this morning….sucked! Here I am now approaching the 3:00 pm slump and I don’t think I have enough going on to keep me awake in my sleep deprived state. I have some calls to make on my Dad’s behalf but with the office being so open I have to wait for just the right time to do so. Until then I’m tying to look busy so this annoying maintenance man for the company will leave me alone. HELP!!!
