I went to sleep last night around 1230am. (earliest for me in a long time!) I used a pill splitter on my Ambien to break the pill into little pieces. Took the smallest chunk. I think it worked pretty good that way.

I woke up around 4am or 5am, not quite sure which it was, and was awake for probably 10 or 15 minutes. Went back to sleep and woke up around 730am. Went back to sleep and got woken up at 9am by the phone. Decided to get up then.

So, I had problems staying asleep last night, but at least I slept. I feel so much better this morning than I have for the past few weeks. I want to take a nap now, but I'm trying to hold off on that.

I took my mom to pick up our vacuum cleaner, and then took my mom to get breakfast. It's kind of weird to be awake before the breakfast restaurant closes at 2pm.
