Does anyone else just want to sleep all the time lately? And eat? Junk food?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss. Oh, yes.

Though I normally blame that urge on PMS. Though winter setting in will do it, too.

The trick? Call it your "personal reflection time."

Yep. Don't you love the seasons changing?

Sleep yes. Appetite, no. I have this horrible cold that just makes me want to hide under the covers. Just the thing you want to get when you have to move (yesterday).

Binge eating? Sleeping 12 to 14 hours a day?
Not since the Wellbutrin kicked in.
Yeehaw!

Yes. I've noticed it more this year than ever. My bed has seemed extremely comfortable lately, and I've been eating and eating and eating. For some reason I really enjoy it.

Yep.

Not me. Nope. I'm a bundle of little sparlky chipmunk-like energy. Always on the go, I have eliminated the need for sleep, junk food, and alcohol.

It's not like I had ice cream for dinner two nights ago and drank five pints of beer last night and stayed up until four and would still be in bed right now except for the fact that I had to come into work.

No.

If PMS is the cause, I've got some serious problems.

Yes! Also despite being sleepy during the day, I'm up late at night. This means that I sleep through many of the precious hours of daylight available to me, thus exacerbating the problem.

I'm really sleepy, too!

thanks for this post, I was starting to worry!

(no junk food though, I'm actually eating an apple. organic)
