silly body continues to be silly, yet I trudge forward, for I am frikkin' stubborn

[elisem]

 In the course of dealing with silly body stuff with which I will not bore you, my sleep cycle got turned upside down again, so I am busy with various attempts at precessing back to a more manageable situation.

Somewhere in some book or other, a character said something about the phrase for having a hangover in a certain language was "my eyes are not opposite the holes." It's not a hangover, but when my sleep schedule is deeply out of synch and I'm trying to do stuff connected to the outside world's schedule, I kind of feel like my life is not opposite the holes.

How's your life matching your hours of access lately?

I am doing all right for matching life to hours of access so far. I have hopes that I will effectively stay on my Central Time schedule this weekend when I'm in Eastern Time, because usually I wake up at 5 and eat lunch at 11, and it'll be just fine to wake up at 6 and eat lunch at noon, and much better to be thinking of bed in the 11-12 range at a convention than the 9:30-11 range.

Having a little trouble getting to sleep, and waking in the wee hours, but so far not too severely underslept.

I got my first good night's sleep in 2-3 months with my newly acquired sleep-aid Rx. I feel well-rested!! It's amazing!

Got to sleep sometime after the bin wagon came past this morning, so post 6:30AM. That's a bit worse than usual, but only by an hour or two. Precessing is definitely a good term for trying to fix it, I often end up having to go forward rather than back to get to a normal-ish schedule.

VERY POORLY INDEED, especially since the sun is setting earlier. GNARRRRR.

I can wrestle things back a few hours, which is much better, and can do that for maybe three days and then I fuck up the timing of a meal-with-medication and it just all goes back to heck.

I don't have to adhere to the outside world's agreed upon hours of operation unless I want to anymore. Well, sometimes, appointments and things like that, but remarkably few times in a given year.

Isn't it amazing? Though it does seem to make the rare times when we DO have to be conscious off-schedule even worse.

Not only are my eyes not matching the holes, I'm not convinced that my number of limbs and the holes in my garments are in any way, shape or form aligned.

My sleep schedule got so out of whack that I said I was going to make sleep my hobby this week, and do it in the late-night hours that I usually spend writing. So far that's worked very well. I miss writing, but there's always next week.

Very erratically. Turns out that recovering from significant surgery means a decent chance that after any given Thing I need to have A Bit Of A Lie Down.

came here from communal creators, stayed for the sleep deprivation quote. <3

such a good quote. definitely accurate.

holes vs eyes: terrible. work is draining my last ounce of strength and i can't turn that off when i get home so it's been impacting my sleep. i managed to drag myself to work for the last four weeks and hope to be able to recover now that i have two weeks of vacation.

good luck for your sleep cycle wrangling too! <3
