Heartburn and Lack of Sleep Make Max a Dull Boy

Can you tell how much sleep I got last night?  Not much.  I'm making goofy references to The Shining...

On a serious note, I hadn't had the heartburn/reflux in a really long time.  I thought that it was attributed more to stress.  Maybe it's also due to lack of quality sleep over a long period of time.  I can't stand it.  The inability to lay down just makes you that much more tired and makes the heartburn that much worse.  Last night was out of control...

I guess I need to take a look at what could possibly be contributing to all of this.  I know that finding out I WAS exposed to burn pits ratcheted up the stress for a little bit.  I also know that quitting smoking didn't exactly help my eating habits at all.  I have gained a lot of the weight back that I had lost, but that's a temporary sacrifice I'm willing to take to get off the cancer sticks.  A bad diet though...Shit.  I am really going to have to find a way to buckle down and eat proper portions again.  I can't afford to continue to lose even more sleep like I have been.  Not to mention that lack of sleep exacerbates my PTSD symptoms, which makes the heartburn even worse.  Yup that seals it.  Gotta change the eating habits...again.
