After two nights of copious and not terrible sleep, I'm now in a state that I haven't been in in a long time. I'm actually excited and engaged in my work, there is a sense of potential and of ease that hasn't been there for at least 9 months. This is what my sleep troubles do to me, beat me down to my lowest common denominator, all of my spoons allocated for just getting through the day. There isn't much left over after that, so I just go home and watch TV. My mind is the first casualty, I think slowly, and poorly, my working-memory drops to about two items, I'm sure I'm not all that fun to be around, nor do I do good work. What's worse than the actual state is how habituated I become to it. To the point I don't think it's all that abnormal to be depressed, moody and exhausted all the time.
I guess it's back to the sleep doctor, as my current setup clearly isn't doing it's job.
