Night-time Waking

Several nights ago, I noticed that I'm waking up much more in the middle of the night. I seem to see nearly every hour, sometimes more than once. Because of all the activity around the house in the past week, I can't tell if I'm more tired than normal or more tired than before I started the Mirapex, but it doesn't seem like it.

When I wake-up in the middle of the night, I feel completely awake and not in the slightest bit drowsy. It's not like restlessness; I don't feel like I'm tossing and turning. I can't remember any dreams that brought on the wakening, or any other reason why I might have awoken. Usually, I look at the clock, often try to remember when the last time that I looked at it was, perhaps calculate how long it's been and then lie back down. I seem to go back to sleep fairly easily, although not necessarily immediately. I don't remember whether this is something I commonly experienced before the Mirapex, but it seems like there were times I did, though not always. Having the memory of a mentally challenged gnat is annoying.

This past week, I used a lot of caffeine, drinking multiple cups of coffee and approximately six cans of Vault every day. I still needed at least one daily nap. I'm looking forward to a standard week to measure against.
