Stage 1: Day 3: Morning

I slept terribly last night. It's my own fault though. As I said yesterday, I've cut significantly back on caffeine, and I intend to cut off caffeine all together. I probably cut back too much yesterday though. I had a headache this morning that is close to some of the worse headaches I've had.

I kept waking up last night like the night before. Pretty much at the same times too: 2:30 or so, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, and 5:30.

At 2:30, I noticed my head hurt, and fell back to sleep. Each time after that I had a harder time going to sleep. It felt like my brain wanted to come out through the left front of my skull (and eye). So when I finally got up around six, I moved slowly, and took two aleve. Of course, they didn't help much. After I took a shower, I started drinking a Pepsi. My headache isn't gone, but it's close. I'm going to head to class pretty soon, and bring a couple cans of pop with me. I really hate withdrawal headaches.

I think after my naps today, I'm going to spray myself with 7 minutes of light. I have this light to deal with Seasonal Affective disorder, and it helps you wake up, along with making your body think it's morning. If this has a negative affect, I'll quit immediately.

I'll update later today, either in the afternoon or evening.
