(no subject)
Recently, I've been having this problem with sleep: No matter when I go to bed, I wake up a little after three p.m. Then, after falling back asleep, I wake up again a little after five p.m. So at about 5:50, I was lying in my bed wearing my sleep mask, I was pondering why this would be so. Nothing particularly loud happens at either of these times, no reason I should wake up, no reason I should be forced to stare into nothingness, hoping, praying, that I will actually be able to complete my day's rest. However, I never came to any conclusion, as my thoughts on this subject were interrupted by my 8:30 p.m. alarm waking me up. I've never loved stealth sleep so much.
I am very disciplined about sleep. I keep track of how many hours I sleep, when I nap and for how long, how tired I feel, etc. So when my sleep routine gets bumped off, even slightly, it has a tremendous impact on my life. Suddenly hours of my days are spent working at sleep, trying to sleep, not going places because I am tired and will need to nap soon or napping at times when I would rather be elsewhere. I start to feel like a zombie. I also lose my ability to focus on much of anything. (This is why my most recent entries have been less than revelatory. I had hoped to write my Journal's Who's Who, but couldn't focus. Expect it tomorrow, if work remains slow.) So I'm very glad I managed to pull out a full eight hours today.
Right now, my brain is fried from a monotonous print job. I'd really like to relax and watch the Senegal/France game, but it is not to be.
FriNYTX: 16. FriLATX: 30. Ten minutes to fill in most of the grid, twenty minutes to finish the 4x4 square in the NW corner.
