insomnia

this is stupid. i have a nasty summer cold and could barely function at work today because i was so tired and not feeling well and now i cant sleep. so im laying here on the couch writing this with my cell phone because our internet is out. i seem to have gotten into the bad habit of staying up too late / not sleeping very well and then dragging at work. i think i will try unisom for a week before bed to get my body back onto the right sleeping schedule. some one once told of that worked for them so i will give it a try. i cant afford to miss work now that overtime has been cut off. im also really worried that we are headed for a depression. things just keep gettin worse and worse. i read an article about a woman who used to make an upscale living as a loan processor. but then she was laid off and is now homeless because the only job she can find is a receptionist for $8 an hour. obviously she is capable of getting a much better job and never dreamed she would be homeless. will things have to hit bottom again before they turn around?
