Sleep deprivation=tic episodes

Guys, I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it is when I can't get enough sleep. Especially when I'm deprived to the point of being almost delirious! Which is; quite honestly; been the case the past week. Between working constantly, being sick and on steroids; and being super busy with cleaning house... I haven't had much CHANCE to sleep haha. We actually had a storm rip through our area this past weekend; and we're still dealing with the aftermath of that... which is not having power and quite a bit of damage. (I know, I'm off topic haha; you'll soon find that I WILL do that quite a bit...) I'll just be glad to be able to sleep... (if any of you can give me some tips besides stuff like ZzzQuil and NyQuil; that would be fantastic!) anyway; just wanted to give a quick update on how things are going. My tics tho; I've gotten a lot of crap about them. Especially my blinking. People just mocking me. Like really? -sigh- I'll never understand it....
