Can sleep deprivation break your nose?

I'm beginning to believe that (a) my sleeping pattern will never return to something even resembling normalcy and (b) I have a broken nose.

I slept for a total of 13 hours yesterday, forcing myself to stay in bed until at least a reasonably decent hour. I got up at about 3am when I couldn't stay in bed anymore and I have been up since, going beck to bed every few hours to see if I could get back to sleep. (I just typed "back to school" rather than "back to sleep". My brain is obviously fried.) I haven't been able to get back to sleep, but I think that when I go back to bed again after I type this up I just might be able to. I need to get back to sleeping at night and living during the day, but I really don't know what else to do. o_0

My nose hurts. Like, really really hurts. I've been getting nose bleeds for the past couple of days, most likely to do with the freakish way that it can pour until the entrance to my building, at the top of a hill, is flooded and still manage to have air as dry as the Sahara. I think I spelled that wrong... Anyway, it's gotten to the point where having my glasses perched on my nose is causing me pain. When I lay down, I have to arrange myself so that my nose is neither leaning to the left or right, and that gravity is not pulling on it too hard. I'm not even joking. My brother tossed a towel at me earlier, and it barely grazed my nose but it brought tears to my eyes. There's no bruises or anything, but god it hurts. I can't have a broken nose, right? There would be bruising, or swelling, or something right? It would require some sort of contact to cause the break, right? Don't your eyes go black when you break your nose? See, none of that. Just... really fucking hurts and won't stop bleeding. Not bleeding bad, just enough to make me sniffle every few minutes, but still. This isn't looking good.

My minutes reset today, so people can call me again if they want. I'm going to go to bed, arrange myself so that my nose doesn't kill me, and try to get another hour and a half or so of sleep, but after that, feel free to give me a ring.

Random side note: I've been listening to podfics recently (fanfiction read aloud which is really popular in the Stargate: Atlantis fandom right now) and one of the readers should do this for money. I swear to god, she's got a better audio-book voice than the guy who reads the Harry Potter books. She rules. There's a different reader who should have her mouth stapled shut, though, so I guess the world keeps it's balance...

Also, I love John Sheppard. I also love Rodney McKay. I really love the both of them together. And Carson is funny.


Ronon is hot- had no reason for that, he's not been in any of the fics I've been listening to, just thought it needed to be said.
