Tuesday - Wednesday 20-21/2/2018

Full-on insomnia struck from 02:30, possibly alcohol related. After an unusually hefty 6 units, all proceeded as normal until the usual dry mouth/urine boner struck. Avoiding interactive electronics, I had a wee and a cuppa, and was back in bed for 02:50 - and couldn't get back to sleep, although I apparently did briefly. At 03:55 I gave up. Oh well, one of those things.

 Getting the results was bothersome also - my Fitbit wouldn't sync! After trying everything that normally works, a computer restart or two finally fixed the problem mid-morning. Although restarts are an arsepain, they are the computer's equivalent of a good night's sleep - I'll have to stop avoiding them!

 With this sleep being somewhat disastrous, I'm now counting on afternoon meditation being better than yesterday!

The plan was to sleep until 07:00, but that got scuppered by a combination of dehydration, a hungry cat and a troubled mind.  Like many folks in middle-age, I have things for which I am profoundly grateful and bring me joy, and scars of loss and hurt that on occasion keep me awake. So what is the therapist's prescription for himself? It is to take the time to give my sadness full periodic outward expression. Otherwise it would only go on to cause all kinds of internal mayhem. I would liken it to a poo - I really have better more enjoyable things to do with my life, but as distasteful as it is, you simply have to make time to release it. I will therefore give myself permission to be sad today, in order to sleep better tonight and generally think straight.
