At last! A night where Fitbit, body and brain all behaved themselves! I cannot fully explain why. I fully charged the Fitbit before bed, and I got some exercise in, and was fully relieved in the marital department - these factors may have all assisted. Most amazing of all there were NO toilet calls or tea cravings. I did wake as I often do around 04:30 thirsty/horny/needing a wee, but for once sleepiness was stronger and I never got out of bed or did anything else - I simply went back to sleep having NOT GOT UP AT ALL the whole night. 

The only mild downers was that deep sleep was rather short and late and sleep efficiency remains stubbornly stuck in the 80's, but by my standards this is nevertheless a great morale-boosting success to begin the weekend with. I wish I could say I'd stumbled across the "winning formula" but I can't - I've exercised and charged Fitbit before on cold nights and had bad results, so why this one went well can't be explained by this.

Though all three of us in the house are all afflicted by the same infection, I appear to be the one hit hardest psychologically, which is making me also physically worse than the other two. I am the only one losing significant sleep, I have the lowest morale, I am doing the least and only I have lost my voice. Since I am the therapist, guilt and shame are added to the mix! 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!
