Dip Me in a Vat of Toxic Substance - I'm Done!

Can you turn into a super villain from lack of sleep?
OMG! Since Sunday I have been waking up at 3am due to being too uncomfortable to sleep (due to the complete and utter nightmare that is SPD and the side effect of a super painful left hip). I have steadily been getting more and more sleep deprived and feeling more and more anxious because of this. So I decided to try and take preventative measures so that I would not endure another night of sleeplessness.
Taking advice from the internet (not always the wisest decision, but as this advice seemed fairly solid, I thought why not give it a try). I armed myself with a cup of Ovaltine, made sure I hadn't been napping throughout the day (even though I was so tired and achey at points I wanted to cry) and tried my very best in zen-like ways to clear my mind and low and behold I am up again 4th night/morning running at 2.15am...2.15am!!! I can't believe it. I am really starting to feel quite desperate, I am never good when I need sleep. Things start to feel a bit warped and I start to feel over emotional (more so than usual)...I feel like I am on the brink of morphing into an evil parallel of myself, a villainous beast 'Doomsday' style.. (please excuse the unleashing of my inner geek (Superman style))! Fairly dramatic side effects I know, but at this unacceptably sleepless hour, that is how it feels.
Anyway, I have been trying for the last couple of hours to get back to sleep, so instead of keeping on with my undeniably crazy, sleep deprived rant, I will try again.
Right! I am off to count some sheep.
