Funny that rest/sleep is today. {groan} Due to my disease, I’ve had insomnia issues since I was a child. Didn’t know back then, what it was. Even sleepwalking.
With DH’s work schedule switching around for the past 6 months, I’m now a mess. I think he’ll be staying on late shift…it’s the best for him. I don’t care as long as it stays put!
He came home late last nite from work, and is battling some ‘bug’. We VERY rarely succumb but he’s in the preliminary skirmish. I’ve already boosted up immune things that will help me dodge this too. We are so rarely ill and ….seems like we particularly don’t want what’s on this year’s selections.
So he was up and down all night. I could not get to sleep. I gave up some years ago and now take a half pill of the OTC variety each nite. Only chemical pill I take. Seems to be adequate until we have a schedule shift. I think that messes up sleep more than anything. Lately, I’ve needed a whole pill. Last nite, I couldn’t remember IF I’d taken one. Finally at 3AM, I took a half AND made hot cocoa. Finally slept and woke at 10am.
We’re off to a previously scheduled doc appt. today. So we’re in a rush and DH has not cleared out this ‘attack’ yet. But have to get to this appt. This will not be a calming, restful day. We will not accomplish anything ELSE we planned while in the village….except this long anticipated doc appt.
I applaud and agree with days for rest and recovery. Very good health habit. This one won’t be mine. 🙁 Forgot to even stretch cuz woke to the beeps, etc of a brief power outage. Hmph!
