Do You Like Sleeping?

That's the best thing about repeater alarms. That extra 5 minutes.

I got out of bed today at 7am. Actually, I got up from the sofa: I must've wandered there in the night and just fallen asleep there.

I WILL be napping later today: I feel all sleepy and like I'm about to fall asleep at any moment.

I really loved doing that when I lived back north. Especially in winter.

My daughter had the results of her official sleep test. She was wired up like a borg drone, wires and stickers glued all over her head ,a box strapped to her chest and oxygen type tubes in her nose to record her breathing.

As she said normal sleep was impossible she laid awake because she couldn't relax the glue itched and the box made a buzzing noise...
By 5am she was up and almost in tears through sheer frustration and exhaustion..

The results say she had 7 hours and 14 minutes of normal sleep although they did say she was in REM sleep after just 6 minutes... basically theyve said her sleep is perfect..

Those results are terrible. She is now worse off than she was before. 

Basically, she has said she is ill, and they have 'proved' that she is in perfect health.

Well her problem is not that she doesnt sleep but for about a year now she has been suffering with chronic fatiuge and needs to sleep a lot.
3 doctors have said its CFS one  said they think its connected to her autism.

This seems to go against everything that all the others have said but this was supposed to be a 3 day trial but after the first night she was so distressed and exhausted she ended the trial. Shes asking for it to be stricken from her medical records because it isnt a complete picture. 

Always boasting.

Not as useful as you might think it doesn't really cool you down as much as you think

"A cold shower to “cool off” might seem a good immediate choice.,We feel cooler because of the combination of the cold water and the decreased blood flow to the skin, but in fact our core will get warmer because of reduced heat loss from the body without skin blood flow."

Just to add to that cold shower thing. With dogs suffering heatstroke a cold shower can be fatal.
The rapid cooling of their skin traps core heat and can result in death.

Gentle cooling is far better.

Thank you, Cassie. I have been telling people this for years. Usually their response was a smile and a patronising "Fancy that!"

I like cold showers in really hot weather but have always started with hot and steadily made it cooler until there was no heat at all. It seems far more comfortable that way.

Actually I'm not finding it too bad. The rain is holding off so I can have the window open all night so it is fairly cool when I beging to wake up in the morning.

I ended up having a rather long nap today: I fell asleep on the sofa, you see. I ended up having my daily shower at 3pm and doing the cleaning afterwards. But I don't regret having a sleep: I felt rested and refreshed afterwards.

I fell asleep last night at 10:30pm and woke up at 9am. I didn't sleep non-stop through the night, but I still slept well.

I like my early nights and I recently have begun to look forward to my mornings, what with my caffetterie coffee and my porridge. I also always look forward to my morning shower, to make me feel human again.
