I was very glad to see that you posted an update, but I am also worried about you. snodderly makes a good suggestion, can you go talk to a doc about the way you're feeling? It could be as simple as getting a little something to smooth out your sleeping patterns . . . while alcohol seems to help make you sleep, it actually winds up interrupting your sleep and decreasing the quality of sleep. I have a friend who had twins last summer, she gets verrrry little sleep, her body finally crashed over the holidays when she got a bad tummy virus, and her doc gave her some Ambien 'til she could get enough sleep to feel a little better -- even after one good nite's sleep she couldn't believe how great she felt, not just physically, but emotionally too. Just be sure if someone prescribes sleep meds to follow the directions very carefully.
Oh yeah, and don't neglect your eating and fluids, either. Amazing how you can get into bad habits and how the effects creep up on you.
