horrible insomnia last night. trying to get off ambien again and dealing with something called "rebound insomnia". i was wide awake and crabby as hell at 1am, looking this stuff up on wikipedia:

sleep paralysis (had this happen saturday morning.) known as the old scissor lock, or being ridden by a dupy. hahahaha!

it gets even more fun with false awakening! i've never heard a better explanation than this (from wikipedia, of course:)

The Type 2 false awakening seems to be considerably less common. Green (1968) characterised it as follows: ‘[…]the subject appears to wake up in a realistic manner, but to an atmosphere of suspense[…]His surroundings may at first appear normal, and he may gradually become aware of something uncanny in the atmosphere, and perhaps of unwonted sounds and movements. Or he may “awake” immediately to a “stressed” and “stormy” atmosphere. In either case, the end result would appear to be characterized by feelings of suspense, excitement or apprehension.’ (Green, 1968, p.121)

anyone else have this happen?
