exhaustion

I took a sleeping tablet last night to try and help me sleep, not that it helped much, and this morning it left me so drowsy and tired that whilst trying to drive to oxford this morning I almost crashed my car :(
I almost ran straight into the curb...so I pulled over into a side road. It just wasn't safe, I was functioning properly. Basically exhaustion has set it.
It's been coming for the last week but today it really hit me. Going from months of doing not alot, to doing 9-5 every day of the week has just taken its toll.
I'm not sleeping well because I'm having stress dreams; for example last night I dreamt that I had to sleep because I then needed to write 1000 word essay on it and then woke up stressing about having to write the essay, only to realise that it was just a dream...
Sounds silly but it means that I'm not sleeping great, I am sleeping, just broken sleep which is almost worse, messes with my head more :(

I have alot to do this week though, and then next weekend is the CU weekend away, hmm I'm debating taking a sick day off placement tomorrow to give myself time to recover. Depends how I feel at the end of today. Right now I'm crashed on the sofa with my duvet, just trying to rest up a bit and settle my nerves, it was kinda scary almost crashing...could've been so much worse!

I'll try and blog later this week :)
Much love xxx
