Sunday - Monday 11-12/3/2018

This sleep was short by conscious choice -  I was desperate for some "me time", not that Missus was any more loopy than usual, but because I got less Sunday "me time" during the day than usual. With all three of us infected with the Common Cold, we were all cooped up together all day.

Interestingly my viral cough settles down at night, but I paid for it when I got up, hunched over the sink coughing my lungs up. There is nothing unusual in this - it's my normal behaviour when I get a cold.

I aim from this point to be very disciplined in sleep and meditation this week as it's at these times that the virus-battered lung-lining regenerates itself. The sooner it does, the sooner the coughing will stop.

However as the therapist I am also the one most able to self-analyze. As the infection got worse I took the decision to take time out and rest up. Whilst this seemed to me the best way of recovering faster, in reality the opposite has happened.  Though seeming counter-intuitive, I am beginning to wonder if the quickest recovery path is actually to "just get on with it" as the other two are. I may be intermittently be coughing my guts up and be unable to speak, but I can still MOVE and move stuff. Today I will stay in but I will start moving stuff around and see what effect this has on morale, recovery

This is the start of an extended time away so I was interested in how it would affect my sleep. This first night was a very stark one of two halves - sleeping very well in the first half and very broken in the second. This may have been influenced by two pints of Guinness!
