I am exhausted mentally and physically. If you are not a morning person 5am wake-ups won't ever suit you and if you're someone like me, who doesn't sleep well, it's worse. And if you spent the whole night dreaming crappy dreams that are often VERY real that leave you in a state of anger and/or anxiety, it's worse than not sleeping at all (I am a surreal dreamer and stress makes it worse... it means it's harder for us to get past the dream stage. It's mostly men. My old endocrinologist found it fascinating, but it just sucks. My Dad was also one and so is my brother. I didn't realize the whole world didn't dream like this until i answered some routine quesions to the dr.).
Student teaching is draining. Classroom management is always on high alert and you're supposed to teach them at the same time. In this case you are trying to come up with ways to help them read and write better! I don't hate it but I don't love it. i do really enjoy some of my one on one with kids. And the few moments I've seen kids really work hard or where they are so proud of themselves I really do love.
There is one class from hell. It's like one of those scenes from Lean on Me or Dangerous Minds. Even my teacher looks like she wants to leave the room. But in the other classes there are a lot of kids who have great personalities and thrive when you give them help and one on one attention.

Sleep deprivation will wreak havoc on you mind, body, and spirit. I know all about it. If you can't get to sleep at night, try melatonin at lease 6 hours before you have to get up. Don't eat anything late. My worst dreams came when I was eating salads late at night. I think the spicy dressing hit my brain just as I dozed off. The best news: It is temporary. Hope at the end of the tunnel is the only effective medicine for your head.
