Bah! A second night of dodgy data from the Fitbit, this time at the opposite extreme - I DEFINITELY slept better than this. I was only out of bed once and have no recollection of restlessness at all, and indeed had a couple of "vivid at the time" dreams. If anything, I slept BETTER than usual. I WAS woken early by a raging urine boner, a dry mouth and a tea craving, but by then I had already notched up a good seven hours asleep, deduced from the absence of memory, other than one (rather than the usual 2-3) toilet calls.

 To compensate for the dodgy data, I have introduced my own two new measurements - TIME WITH LIGHTS OUT and TIMES OUT OF BED. From a week on Sunday I will include these on my own graphs

The data issues may arise from what "restless" means. Fitbit classifies this as a separate category from "awake". I haven't yet found how Fitbit determines this.

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.
