The insomnia is at critical levels

I'm just mentally at my wit's end and I have no idea where this insomnia is coming from. I went job hunting Monday but quickly realized I needed to get the sleep under control first. I only got to three places to apply to in about two hours, while I really have no comparison if that's quick or slow, it still seems like a low number. Tuesday night I got a little over two hours of sleep and in a fit of desperation for sleep I made it a goal to stay awake from 1:55 AM to at least 10:00 PM. I fell asleep a little before 12:00 AM and woke up almost right at 6:00 AM. Six hours is a lot of sleep when I get it nowadays, but it's not enough, and I got to give credit where credit is due, I never would have had that much time asleep if WeirdAndLovely and EclecticQuill didn't help me stay up, and if MyMasks didn't give me the encouragement to stay awake longer. I probably wouldn't have made it if my roomie Dakota didn't threaten to come spoon with me if I laid down too (which he did) and send me messages like this.

Denaricus: NIC WAKE UP
Packeranatic: I'm awake I think
Denaricus: IM TOO HOT AND YOURE THE ONLY THING THAT CAN COOL ME OFF ; )
Packeranatic: Yah, I'm definitely awake, you're still flaming gay.

I can feel myself getting more irritable because of my lack of sleep and having less tolerance to put up with people in general. The other day I snapped on someone's journal and while I still fundamentally disagree with them, I launched a slew of heavy insults and insinuations that are characteristically not me. I like to be the person who tries to understand the other side of the argument, but I just snapped. I don't want to be that guy who grumbles to their day job and then loses it for snapping at people. Especially when I'm applying for jobs in retail. That can't be going on.

Like always, music has been a huge part of what is keeping me sane lately. Especially this tune. It's called Bigger Than Life and it's amazing. I love rock music and hip hop, but there are hardly any crossover-type artists where guitarmanship and guitarwork are just as equally valued as the lyrics and vice-versa. If you like piano chord progressions like Eric Clapton's Layla or guitar solos or amazing lyrics *cough* SilverInkblot *cough* hopeburnsblue *cough*, I highly recommend this song. Give it a chance.
