"No one yet understands how or why, but at night many of us think, feel, behave in ways we might not during daylight. I, for one, am a little more reckless, with a yen for wistfulness and whimsy. This is how I found myself outside on that fateful starry night."
Sometimes I can’t sleep. Or rather, I can’t go back to sleep. This has been a constant theme in my life for a couple of years, and this morning, I realized it’s a problem I need to address.
Some of my rants covering what I've done instead of sleeping earlier in the morning:
A brief update after a few visits with the cervical spine specialist. I've gotten more sleep the last 3 nights (4-6 hrs) compared to 1-2 hours a night the previous month. The tinnitus has been less intense since Sunday, the first day after sleeping better. I've also been using a bit more THC before bed than normal but not anything crazy.
The lessening of the tinnitus has been amazing! Still there but not debilitating.
Bugger. Awake again. So the question is, do I try and get back to sleep and risk a repeat of last night's horrors, or just give up at the first hurdle and stay awake?
I had my first adjustment with the cervical spine specialist today and I noticed a bit of a change in my sinuses of all places, my right ear drained. The side that's off 6.84° is apparently pretty bad, my wife's largest number was 3.05° on her measurements. The tinnitus is still there but I've been told 3-6 months to see if the nerves will heal. I'm hoping I might sleep a bit better with everything lined up tonight.
Good morning and happy Thursday! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm dead tired after sleeping an hour and forty five last night. So I enjoyed this sunrise while simultaneously guzzling coffee and slapping myself.☕🤦 It's nice I'm not running equipment that could cut my hand off these days, office life has its perks. 🙂
Insomnia hit me today, so I moved my butt out of bed, brought the doggo out for a pee, made some tea, settled on the couch with my land seal under my blanket and now I'm watching Medical Detectives. And eventually, I will fall asleep. Or I don't. And that's okay, even if it's kinda inconvenient.
