On Monday before lunch I went home from work sick with a gastro bug, and slept 5 hours in the late afternoon.  Went to bed early and slept through an hour of snooze buttons before phoning my supe and saying I wouldn't be in. Was awake for an hour or so to have breakfast, coffee & medications and slept again until 3pm. Awake 1 hour and slept again ( Read more... )

Walking & talking in my sleep are sometimes things, but bruxing (grinding, clenching) is far more frequent.  I've had a 'chewwie' for almost 20 years now.  A custom mouthguard isn't cheap, but it's way cheaper than fixing a broken tooth ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning I hit the snooze button on my alarm a couple of times, and then when I was almost finished ironing my shirt for work ... I woke up!  For Reals this time! Plus it was 8.20am, which is about 5 minutes before I usually leave home, and more than an hour after my alarm went off.

Yep the shirt I planned to wear did need ironing cos I'd ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to find my Pride & Prejudice box set (the BBC series, not the movie)  for a couple of weeks at least.  I suspect that I may have moved it in my sleep, as my sewing notions may be less structured, but my DVDs are pretty organised. I have 1 spot for borrowed (library or friends), 1 spot for movies I've already watched (all ( Read more... )

yesterday I realised that an irritated patch of skin on the bridge of my nose was getting more irritated, and that it was my specs doing it.  So I looked at the specs and there was a rough scratched bit on the inside of the frames.

How did this happen?

Well it's weird sleep stuff again.  At least I didn't stick my fingernail in my eyeball as I ( Read more... )

I'm a parasomniac (whacketty fun while sleeping), and last night's entertainment was a whole lot better than sticking a fingernail into my eye & not waking up.

I was dreaming that someone was frying up a pan of chips (aka french fries), and then I half woke up, had a not-hot chip in my hand & popped it into my mouth to chew on.

Woke up properly, ( Read more... )

It's been more than 2 weeks and I still haven't stumbled across the remote control, which'll turn up somewhere more obscure than my freezer or laundry basket. But only after it's been replaced of course.

I found out that the replacement is still available at @ AU$74, which is in the ballpark I was expecting.  The DVD player itself has recently ( Read more... )

Well the eye took a good week to look this improved, and to let me use the internets for more than 5 minutes without whinging incessantly at me.  It's now so much better than this with only a little red at the top of the cut.

On rare occasions, I've been known to sleep walk. I talk far more often than that, and far more often brux (gnash/grind/clench teeth ( Read more... )
