Insomnia? Where the hell is Somnia?
Nov. 19th, 2010 06:12 pmI seem to keep not getting sleep recently. It always seems to be Thursday night as well.
I never used to have this problem. I've always slept well. I fall asleep. I wake up at exactly the time I want to wake up. It's nice when that happens.
I did have this problem about this time last year though. I'm not sure about the reasons. If I get up, watch something on telly - there's always an episode of QI - have a glass of milk and some biccies I usually manage to drop off. Trouble is after deciding I'm not sleeping then watching telly for however long then trying to sleep again does mean I'm cutting into my sleep time even more. I hate not being able to concentrate and being irritable.
Back then I put it down to stress. This time I'm not feeling that stressed. I tried writing down whatever came into my head to see if that was distracting me, but nothing came into my head. My caffeine consumption is fairly light. It might be the sudden appearance of winter, but I should be used to that by now.
I think perhaps I need to get more exercise. Go to Ceroc. Go for a walk in the evening. Wonder if there's anything else I can do. Some extra social events (i.e. any at all) would probably help.
