I dont know what it is but ever since I got back from Iraq this past August my sleep habits have been shot. Sure before I left I useually went to sleep around 11pm-12am. Was never a big deal. With in 20 minuets of laying down I'd be fast asleep. But now no matter what time I head to bed I wind up tossing and turning for hours, geting next to no sleep. Hell I've had a few days where I got no sleep what so ever, and still had a hard time the next night geting to sleep. Wheres those fucking sheep when you need them, right? I really dont know what to do about this. Only thing thats been helping is either Jim Beam or NyQuil and neither are really good choices. I suppose I should go to the docs about this but theres only two things they'll do to me: 1) put me on sleeping pills or 2) treat me like I'm trying to get out of PT. Honestly they'll most likely do the 2nd option. Its what Army docs useually do. But if they do opt for the first do I really want to be on perscription sleeping pills? One problem is they tend to be highly addictive. Aint geting much sleep with out them now but if I get addicted and try and get off them again my sleep habbits will go strait to the gutter. And two and this is the bigger problem if I'm on sleeping pills I could very well wind up over sleeping, and even with a medical excuse the Army is not very considerate of being late to work. As a civilian they may understand, or at the very least as long as you have that doctor excuse the hell they going to do really? They fire you sue. Problem is as a Soldier they can royally fuck me up even with medical excuses. They can take my rank, my pay, my free time, make me pull rediculous hours for months on end for being late to work. I have seen it happen to one guy at my old Unit who was on perscription sleeping pills. Yeah after a year of fighting our command he finally won, but honestly a year? I'm not that patient . So in the mean time here I am almost midnight, wanting to get to sleep, actually sleepy, but after 3 hours in bed I aint made no progress. Sigh.
