Poor Sleep, A Few Bad Thoughts

Well, we can't expect a completely smooth path full of sunshine and rainbows, can we? Time for some complaining about minor B.S. First world problems, as they say.

I slept from early afternoon until early evening, then once I woke up, I still felt very sleepy. Yet, I simply couldn't fall back asleep. I had my TV on (which I sometimes use in these situations - it does sometimes help me fall asleep; other times not). 5 hours I tried to fall back asleep, and finally I managed to snooze. My family member came to turn the TV off, and the rapid change from sound to quiet woke me up completely. I must have been asleep for less than 5 minutes. I snapped at them a short while later because this was not the first time that I was awoken in this exact manner (and here I will admit that I've woken them up unintentionally from certain housework early in the morning as well, because I have to get to work early).

So now I'm just sleepy and irritable. Part of the irritability stems from the fact that I know I have 6 consecutive nights of work ahead, and my chance at getting a bit more sleep was pretty much broken. I'll be going to work tired.

Also had some bad thoughts recently, although not many. I was rejected from a potential interview, and that led to thoughts of inadequacy, but they were briefer than I had expected. My attempt at meditation was broken a couple of days ago by a family member that was talking to me and wasn't aware of what I was doing, so I'll have to retry either tonight or tomorrow.
