i woke up at 716 today

that was a little strange. about an hour early. did not sleep too well either, turmoil in the dreams and trouble staying in deep sleep. i was very aware that i was trying to sleep, and so it felt like i was in bed forever even though it was only ~3.5 hours. i ended up waking about an hour before my usual time, which i think is because i forced myself to bed to get sleep because i knew i was going to need it.

i wasn't tired at the usual time (beyond it actually) because i got two 15 min naps in the afternoon/evening and one long nap from 9-11 pm. haven't had a chance to nap at all the last couple days and i think it started taking a toll on me, especially with yesterday being so busy. i didn't get less busy, though - it was almost like i was overclocking my body. i was very hot at the end of the day, after being outside most of the day in a pretty stiff wind with only a thin dress shirt on. i did feel like i handled the conditions better than i have in the past, which was nice. i feel more caught up on sleep now than i did yesterday, so that's good.

the dreams, though... they are troublesome.

  1. I dunno if you already know this, but I'm quite the insomniac. So i can empathize/I know what you're talking about.
    I don't suppose I have to chastise you for your lax attitude towards your body because you already know what i'm going to say, lol. You're the one that's always yelling at us about nutrition and health. so sleep. dress warm. and don't eat crap.
    what exactly do you mean by turmoil?

  2. underlying psychosis. but it has been dealt with in the most dispassionate and sterile of fashions.

    you should exercise more, it will help you sleep more soundly at night. and you should try to establish a set time that you wake up at, every single day... the benefits are multitudinous, i guarantee it.

  3. and how pray tell did you dispel said psychosis??
    Yeah, I know, I've heard it all before. I think the main thing is that (for springtime) i'm laying on my stomach, not wearing socks, and that I have Percy.
