exhausted

[low_delta]

A few months ago, my rise time moved a little bit earlier. At that time, I started going to bed earlier, to compensate. That didn't last long, and I've settled on 12:40. Which is slightly later than it used to be, on average. Not only that, but I'm never able to get to sleep quickly, so I'm lucky if I get 6-1/2 hours of sleep a night. Not good.

Saturday night I got to bed later than usual because I was trying to get ready for a Sunday morning art workshop. I had to get up almost as early as on weekdays. Trying to get ready that late at night, and running into some snags unsettled me for sleep so I didn't fall asleep easily, and then I woke up early, for a little while, and then my weekday alarm went off, and then finally my regular alarm. So I slept for shit.

Monday morning I had to get up very early for work. And then I was doing a lot of physical work at the plant. Fortunately I got home early, because I was ready to collapse. I actually took a bit of a nap before supper. I was so exhausted I could hardly sit at the computer. I spent much of the evening lying on the couch. After a while I recovered enough to read, and went to bed before 11:30.

It's times like this that I usually get sick, but I'm feeling better today. Still not out of the woods, but improved, so that's good.

I have similar bedtime and sleeping issues, some of which have worsened over the past four years but ESPECIALLY this past year. I'm a night owl, and not by choice, but it went super-extreme night owl at some point and I keep fighting to get back to a somewhat normal, daylight existence. I'm on the daytime schedule right now, but sometimes it's just a little thing that pushes me into the night. gah!

Glad you're not sick, anyway, and I hope your sleep improves!
