SLEEEEEP!!! Longer title.

Okay I'm all off kilter. I called it a night at 3am which is my routine. The problem is I haven't slept a wink since and it's about 9:15am and I'm wide awake. My ginger cat is walking all over me like this isn't normal. I know I'm going to crash in the middle of the day and screw up my normal sleep cycle even more. Folks I've been doing this for 2 years before Vickie passed. Four years total. This is OUR routine. I have an annual Medicare health evaluation at my doctor's Wednesday which I've managed to put off for two years. They are going to start dropping patients who don't do it because of Medicare requirements.
I need to get it together before then so I can be rested when I go in.
HELP I'M IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

Try not to crash during the day, and hang in there until 9 or 10 p.m.

Then get a good night's sleep and set your alarm for, say, 7 a.m. to get back to a normal schedule by Wednesday.

@Thinkerbell That's not my normal schedule. I sleep from 3am to anywhere from 1 to 3pm.
I don't have a problem waking early for appointments however. My appointment Wednesday is 3pm and it's only 8min drive. If I get up at 1 or 2 all will be normal. But I am going to try to make it through the day without crashing. That way I will sleep tonight probably exhausted but so be it.
