Night Shift

Thanks @Mazarita, ditto!

@plasmo, what kind of music helps you sleep?

@eth, I realise I often wake to go to the loo and then I'm awake for quite a while. Feel less wired tonight than I do sometimes though, which is a nice change.

@Mazarita, yeah... I've been not so good. And that's an understatement. I hope it'll be of some help - thanks.

@eth, hey. Didn't sleep much?

@Snuchu, I read some of what you've been going through when I was on earlier. Sending virtual hugs across the world for you. Hope it goes well with the nurse.

@Mazarita, hugs to you too. 🙂 Thanks. I love e-hugs.

@Snuchu @Mazarita I at least had my sleep in one 3 hour block which is better than average nights and also feel much more relaxed than often by this time of night.

@Snuchu I remember the last thing I said to you last night was about talking about Canada next time we spoke. I visited in and around Ottawa for a month in autumn 2012 and absolutely loved it. I stayed with my Dad's 2nd wife and she was a fabulous host.

@Snuchu, e-hugs, like that word. 🙂 Yeah, I'm a huggy person in real life too. Read something a little while ago that 20 second hugs are the best. Apparently they change brain chemistry some way for the better. That's a bit over the top for most people including me, gets embarrassing especially with strangers, lol.

@eth, good to hear you are feeling a bit more relaxed than usual too. Three hours is not a bad block if you can get something like it a few times a day. I really need at least 8 hours to feel okay over the course of a day. Otherwise I'm either wired in a bad way, or can't keep my eyes open, sometimes both at the same time. Would be better to be getting it all in one block I suppose but it is what it is for now.

@Mazarita I started keeping a sleep diary again a week ago and the 3 hour block has only happened 3 times since then. Even to get 5 hours average total it's been taking 4-6 naps. No wonder I'm so flat during the day. The Dr just said the depression and insomnia are a chicken-and-egg thing.
