I Sleep, Therefore I Am

File today under odd.

I slept for 7 to 8 hours (which would normally be enough even if my body prefers a little longer), woke up, made it as far as the desk at the foot of my bed and dozed off again as soon as I sat down. Woke up after 20 minutes or so, started to read something, and woke up an hour later facedown on the desk with my forehead neatly pressed into my keyboard's wrist rest, and, with the brief exception of the daily waddle, which utterly failed to wake me up, the rest of the day has been more of the same, I've lost count of the number of times I've dozed off into a dream-state. I think I'll just give up on getting anything remotely intellectual (or not intellectual) done and curl up on the couch with a glass of wine.

My record for sleeping is 30 hours out of 36 (or 38 out of 44 depending on how you look at it), though that was the first time I used butrans, so a bit of a one-off. I'd sat down on the floor in the lounge, in a patch of sun coming through the french windows, dropped off and woke up 30 hours later, six hours after that I couldn't keep my eyes open and had to go to bed again!

Today might actually have been butrans assisted again, I changed my patch yesterday and that might have been a day late (though I'm not sure and it doesn't normally affect me), but I'm mostly woken up now, and of course it's the middle of the night, sigh. Fortunately tomorrow's hospital appointment isn't until 3:30, so I can sleep late if need be.
