Considering how restless last night felt, this sleep was better than expected, only a little short of the critical minimum. Oddly Missus was also (unusually) restless, so much so in her case that she went back downstairs for a while. 
However, the restlessness was actually all at the front end - after midnight it turns out that I slept reasonably well, only to be woken again around 05:00 by a raging urine boner, brought on probably by a lack of overnight toilet visits. Due to awaken at 06:00 anyway, I got up. This was a short sleep beyond my conscious control, as I did provide myself an 8-hour sleep window.

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.

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.
