Today started out busy, but turned slow. \u00a0I stayed up last night until almost 1 a.m. finishing a novel I had started only the day before. \u00a0Not a usual thing, but it hooked me. \u00a0Since I woke up around 7:00 and tried going back to sleep until 8:00 when I gave up and got up, I spent the day with that loggy feeling, not quite there.<\/p>\n
(Thee I invoke, blest power of Oneiroi (Dreams) divine, messengers of future fates, swift wings are thine. Great source of oracles to human kind, when stealing soft, and whispering to the mind, through sleep\u2019s sweet silence, and the gloom of night, thy power awakes the intellectual sight; to silent souls the will of heaven relates, and silently reveals their future fates. \u00a0Orphic Hymn 86 to the Oneiroi)<\/p>\n
My nap helped a bit but it was the usual length so I still had sleep deprivation and after I got up I was still foggy. \u00a0So at 5:00 I took another nap. \u00a0Better now, and believe I’ll sleep the normal time tonight.<\/p>\n
Having been a poor sleeper, bothered with both insomnia and difficulty getting to sleep, I’ve worked hard to get my sleeping routine into one where I can get adequate rest. \u00a0I stopped reading in bed. \u00a0That helped a lot. \u00a0I read before I go to bed now, though that can present its own problems as last night shows.<\/p>\n
I try to go to bed around the same time every night, usually 11:30 and get up around the same time, usually between 7:30 and 8:00. \u00a0Sometimes, like tomorrow I’ll get up at 7:00 because I have spraying to do or because I have an early skype time with my brother and sister, early for me, that is, but otherwise I’m pretty regular.<\/p>\n
