figment

I have not been sleeping enough, and I don't have a good reason why. Despite my best intentions I have not been getting to bed as early as I should, and then the alarm still goes off at the same time in the morning. In the morning, I resolve that I must go to bed earlier that night, and then 11 PM comes around and I'm still distinctly awake and trying to wind down from the day.

It would probably help me sleep better if I was getting, oh, any exercise other than taking the stairs.

And sadly, the other day when I had coffee and I really liked it? I also had heart palpitations. That was Not Fun. So it's tea for me, at least for the foreseeable future. While I realize less caffeine will theoretically help my sleep cycles be better adjusted, right now it's just a crutch I can't lean on any more when I'm tired.

Anyway. This morning I am kind of down, for no particular individual good reason. I hope to find a way this weekend to take care of myself enough to turn my mood around. A little coccooning may be in order.

Life balance seems to be really hard for a lot of my friends lately, myself included. I had tickets to Rufus Wainwright the other night. I knew it might be a late night but risked it anyway. Little did I know that Rufus was going to sing well past 11. I didn't get to bed until well after midnight and as you say, the alarm goes off at the same time anyway. Yeesh. I'm too old to be out that late on a school night. :)

Serioulsy, sleep is so important to good health but I think our culture/lifestyle/technology really screws with us sometimes. I'm trying to slow down myself so I know what you are going through. I remember the last time I had palpitations, it was from stress and I'm glad I took the measures I did at the time otherwise who knows what could have happened. I recently had a check-up with my doctor just to make sure everything was fine (and it is) when was your last check-up? Couldn't hurt to have one especially if you have medical insurance.
