Even as the day began for work, the heat of the day snuck upon you as soon as you moved. I had a steady days work though and remained on the right side of over heating. I took my boy for tea at his Grandmas and we played as well as watching Peter Pan on video. He has picked up how to operate the video quickly which is encouraging. I itemised the things I would do this evening and that entailed playing another chapter on Mafia 2 and then watching another episode of 'Haunted Collector'.
After three early nights I am feeling more balanced sleep wise. There was a talk about night terrors on the radio today. I've never suffered with that but it did make me think about my relationship with sleep. I go to bed and write my diary generally, then I lay down and within ten minutes of that I'm out. That is every night unless I've been knocking back the coffees. I always need the toilet twice or more a night but other than that it's just a case of sleeping on one arm and then turning over to sleep on the other. Although I go to sleep quickly, I hurt each arm in turn and to watch it back on fast forward on video, it would appear as if I was swimming in bed. Within the last two years I damaged one shoulder and it hurts in my sleeping position. So 50% of the evening I am struggling with the pain waking me up to move. Then the toilet breaks. Ultimately I am not sure that I am getting a great nights sleep after all. However it seems to be enough at about seven hours of intermittent rest. I guess I don't actually have a tough, hard days manual labour either so that helps.
Although I started to push midnight every night once I had split from my wife, now I am levelling out at going to bed at half past ten most times.
Plus I dream every night I think and it's the stuff of computer game fantasy mostly, well that and the paranormal.
