As the title says really. I haven't slept properly for a fortnight now and my skin has gone dry and spotty (tmi??), my eyes are funny and I feel terrible...any recommendations for helping me sleep would be very very appreciated! bit of background....
4 weeks ago I was admitted to hospital with stomach pains, 3 weeks ago the other administrator in my company just upped and left. No notice or anything just a post on his facebook that he had left the country and wasn't coming back. I get to work on the Monday after leaving hosp on the Friday to find that I now had 2 peoples roles. The company took on a temp from the agency to help out until at least june but that meant that i had to train them as well as learning the other admin role/processes I'd never been involved with. This was about 3 weeks after my one to one meeting where I'd asked for some work to be taken off me cos I had too much to do and felt like i was drowning a bit. Over the last few weeks, we've found that a lot of the other job had been done wrong with loads of errors/things missing etc so i have spent a lot of time trying to sort things with our accounts department and hr and a lot of waiting around for them to look into things where more queries were building up. The deadline for fixing a lot of the stuff is next Tuesday and I want to get it fixed but have to wait for people to get back to me first...
Then I'm coming home and sorting all the bits and pieces for the wedding. I also have an exam next month that I'm trying to get organised for. This week and next we have a foreign student staying with us so she needs looking after and I have to get up earlier to make sure we all have time to get ready etc.
Meantime for the last 2 weeks it's taken me until at least 1am to nod off then I'm sleeping really badly, waking up somewhere between every half an hour and every hour. The doctors can't fit me in for a fortnight and I'm going crazy here! I keep forgetting things too which is really unlike me and very frustrating!! Can anyone recommend anything that might help without costing the earth or making me still drowsy when i get up???
TIA
ETA That was a bit long and waffly sorry.. the first and last paras would have been enough...
