Day #50: Gods of Sleep 1 - Chris 0
That’s right. The big Five Oh. Bloody hell!
My sugars this morning were 4.3
Wow, what a disaster last night’s sleep was. let me take you through it. So I set up the inflatable mattress in the spare room - the idea being, I’ll got o bed earlier, my wife won’t have to, I can lie in in the morning and then go about my day with more sleep and rest under my belt. Right? Wrong.
I had real difficulty getting to sleep in the first place, probably got off to sleep around half midnight, then…and this was the really hilarious part, I woke around 1:30am to find that the matress had deflated. So I blew it back up and went back dizzily to sleep. I figured it must have been the valve - maybe I hadn’t tightened it enough?
No it wasn’t the valve. That’s what I found out at around 4:00 in the morning, so I went downstairs and crab some cushions off an old couch we have, and used those as my bed.
I had a pretty fitful sleep on that bed in my sleeping bag, but the best bit?
My son’s alarm going off after my wife and son had both left for work and school respectively. That was it. I went back into the bedroom (the proper one) and pulled sheets over my head harrumphing and moaning to myself. I did get more sleep (because I needed it), but blood hell, what a fiasco!
Sometimes it’s like the gods of sleep just don’t think I deserve any. I swear.
I’ve just come down from finishing off yet another loaf of bread, and this one is better. I let the yeast get more “active” this time before adding it to the flour. Looks pretty good to me anyway, then then a deep fried fly would look good to me right now.
I’m off to bed in a second, up later than I should be, but at least I’ve got a self prescribed (hopefully successful) lie in to look forward to in the morning.
So, Thanks again for keeping up to date with the goings on of my journey, and please do spread the word to anyone and everyone you think might benefit from reading. If you’re thinking “Yeah, I should. He’s right, [insert name here] might really benefit from knowing about this. I’ll tell them tomorrow” - Screw that, tell them now! Send them a text message or an email, or phone them (if it’s socially acceptable at the time you’re reading this), but get them told!
The more people that educate themselves and take charge of their condition the better. It can only be a good thing.
Thanks for listening…
‘night.
