I woke up Sunday morning refreshed, and hopeful that my health was back to normal, but as the day unfolded I found myself taking several short naps, and last night I had trouble falling asleep.
Today I was determined to get my sleep schedule back on track. However, mid-afternoon I had trouble keeping my eyes open, so I set my phone timer for 15 minutes and crawled into bed, which was enough to keep me going. The extra sunlight after dinner also helped.
I've done my part, and hope that tomorrow my schedule is completely reset.

ReplyDeleteBeing retired I follow the 'get up when I wake up' system. 9? 10? 11? 12? 1? Whenever.
ReplyDeleteI'm a morning person. Don't know if I could ever change.
DeleteEvery year that damn time change gets harder and harder.
ReplyDeleteIt is annoying, but I think the sunlight at the end of the day makes up for the annoyance.
DeleteGlad you were able to get some nap time. I did not participate in this unofficial day...Hope you are feeling better and can get your energy level back up.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm about ready to kick this sickness to the side of the road!
DeleteI didn’t partake in the nap but did enjoy a cup of caffeinated tea mid afternoon to see me through and was in bed by 9:30.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve been ill plus add in the time change so it’s been extra hard for you. I say, your body needs rest to heal so take your timed power naps for awhile until you don’t need them anymore.
Thanks for your great advice, which I will follow to a T :-)
DeleteDaylight savings time never bothers me.
ReplyDeleteI'm Glad you were able to get some nap time. And good for you on trying to fix your sleep schedule. I'm with Mike, "Get up when I wake up". If I wake up toooo early, I go back to sleep until I feel like getting up.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this with us. Wishing you well, my friend! Have a wonderful week!
I wish I could get to a place where I don't need to care about when I wake up, but I still have too many things with a start time on my calendar.
DeleteIt takes me at least a week to adjust to DST. Which reminds me, why am I still awake? Haha.
ReplyDeleteIf the time stamp is right you WERE up late!
DeleteI never can tell if the time change affects me or not because I am not a good sleeper anyway. Hopefully you got your sleep schedule straightened around.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get back on track. It threw me for a loop.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I always wake up feeling worse after a ten minute nap. Cat-napping is a great skill to have.
ReplyDeleteI set my timer for 20 minutes, but it always takes at least 5 of those to actually relax and doze off.
DeleteIt didn't seem to bother me as much this time. Probably because I am still healing and napping anyway!
ReplyDeleteDid you get reset?
