I am tired today

as I managed to get about 20 mins sleep last night thanks to my insommia and Gordon's allergies.
The past 2 nights I succumbed the lure of the sleeping pill to get some much needed shuteye but last night I decided I would be strong and just get use to the idea that I only need 2-3 hrs sleep to survive.
So bedtime came and I told Gordon I would be staying up for a while, hoping he would be asleep before I got there. Unfortunately I timed it wrongly or so I thought but as I was lying there, I realised that he wasn't sleeping well because of his bloody allergies and refusal to take anything for them! So he was snorting, sniffing and tossing thoughout the night whilst I listened hoping I would eventually fall off to sleep.
I did! at around 4.30 in the morning only to waken myself up with a dream which was about a long journey...I seem to have a theme developing here...ended up with someone puking all over me.
As I was voicing my disgust and dismay in my dream, I awoke to myself, making the noises aloud. Gordon was startled and I was equally as startled! However, Gordon returned to his restless sleep and I listened to the cat purring on my shoulder until 5.59 when she wanted to get out of the room.
So tonight, do I get a good night sleep with aid or do I try without? As its Friday, I can afford to wait until Gordon is asleep and then decide. Just wish he would accept he has allergies all year around and take the fix!
