Less Tired
Who would have thought it? Getting more sleep makes you less tired. A little bit at least. Normally I'm rarely in bed before midnight but yesterday it was 10pm on the dot. I could actually have just fell into bed and slept the moment I got back from work but that would have screwed up my bodyclock totally and I really need to get it back to normal. So I struggled to make it to ten and then just crashed out and slept solidly for 9 and a half hours. Not that much compared to how much I needed but a whole lot better than my normal six or so hours or the four or five I've ebeen used in the past week. Plus it was good sleep. Slept like a baby the whole time.
No strike that expression. I didn't sleep like a baby. Only someone who has never been a parent would call good sleeping sleeping like a baby. Someone who has paid a visit to a house with a baby, saw it sleeping, thought 'how cute' and then gone back to a baby free house. if I had slept like a baby I would have woken up two or three times in the night, screamed blue murder for attention and food until everyone else was awake then crapped in my pants with the most foul disgusting stuff ever to grace this or any other world. I think my Better Half might just have kicked downstairs to sleep on the sofa if I had done that.
So no, I slept like a log. Dead to the world until my alarm woke me this morning. My alarm being my Better Half. For some reason since I got together with her I have lost my ability to wake up just before the alarm goes off while she has gained it. o now she nudges me awake to get me up. It means she does wake up before me but then has the compensation of rolling over to go back to sleep while I get up. And after my good night's sleep was I feeling full of the joys of morning as i woke up? No. A lot less tired and a little more positive for sure but I am never going to like early mornings no matter how many times I have got experience them.
