TV horror, in person.
Last night I got a MySpace message from the host of Nightmare SINema. It appears that he's been reading the book I sent in for a sketch, and he likes it very much so far. In fact, he said I should come on the show to promote it, so if I can get down to Warren it looks like I'll have a short TV spot of me talking about Sadie. Neat, no?
I'm at work today even though it's the holiday weekend and we're going to be painfully slow here. I have to stay until 5pm too, which is only about 7 hours or so, but it's still a long time with nothing to do.
My doc tells me the reason I need so much sleep anymore is because of the head trauma. Apparently getting hit on the head a lot can make you need more sleep than average people because it requires more energy just to do normal stuff like getting dressed and going to work. Interesting. They also said excersize might help me need less sleep. In all seriousness, I feel tired and cranky if I don't get 8-10 hours a night. I'm not much for the excersize, but it seems like I really need to start.
Still waiting to hear back from Borders and Barnes & Noble. Also waiting for some new reviews to crop up on Amazon. The secretary here at my work promised to leave one since she liked the novel so much. It's very gratifying to hear how many people like it, people who aren't just being nice.
Worked on my serial killer novel yesterday. Making all these cuts is hard work, but in the end I think I'll have something great. I'd like to submit it for a 2010 publication date.

Do you happen to know how long (as in, for a few years? for life?) this need for extra sleep lasts? I ask because I often feel that my need for more sleep has to do with something besides my depression. But it's been 23 years since my head trauma. Of course, the need for more sleep started during my recovery from that injury ans continues into the present.

My head trauma is from childhood, and I was always a really tired kid, so it seems like it's a long term thing. Then again, my bi-polar disorder also affects my sleep schedule too, depending on whether I'm high or low.
So to answer your question: I don't know.

Before my head trauma, I averaged 4-5 hours a night. Now I could easily sleep 10-12 (when I can sleep, that is, which is apparently not the case tonight). Of course, there's probably an age factor in there too. And a lot more responsibility and stress. Oh yeah, and of course the drepression and/or bipolar disorder (depending on which doctor you ask).
Who the heck knows? :)
Oh yeah--I finaly posted a short review. It takes me absolutely forever to get anything done these days.
