Just feel like complaining here, as there's not much else I care to do at 2 a.m.
My body clock has been all out of whack these last few days. Trouble getting to sleep, waking up at intervals (probably not used to furnace cutting in and out), waking up very early or very late, which throws med times off, not to mention SAD light usage. No coffee makes no difference. No naps makes no difference. Eating or not eating at bedtime makes no difference. Computer or no computer at night makes only minor difference. Reading ditto. All the usual factors don't seem to fit.
Last night I realized too late that I own melatonin tablets for times like this. Finally I remembered my relaxation CD; put it on and it worked like a charm! Went to play it again tonight but b/f here for the weekend and doesn't care for it, so I shut it off. Silence. Maybe a good thing, conducive to sleep this time around, I figure. Then b/f, who doesn't snore every night, decides to tonight. So. I finally get up, do some reading in the kitchen while eating a light snack, and decide to check forum on computer. Which brings me to now.
It has just dawned on me that lately I've been Feeling hot, then cold, with a stuffy head, sneezing, itchy eyes, itchy ears, and scratchy throat. Son of a gun - maybe I'm just fighting a cold! How nice if my body clock resets itself when these symptoms settle.
Oh good grief. This is weird. Turns out tonight is "turn back your clocks" night. We don't even do that here in Saskatchewan. I guess my body is telling me I should move somewhere else. Maybe Arizona, where it's warm? Oh crap, they don't turn the clocks back there either.
Enough of this. Off to bed ...again.
Zzzzzz.....
