After a really bad week at work, lots of sensory issues and anxiety and a meltdown on Thursday evening when I got home work.
I decided to do as little as possible this weekend.
I had to cancel going out Friday night because I was so tired. Yesterday I just rested and slept.
Today, I’m feeling a little more human.
The healing power of rest and sleep ~ I knew there was a reason why sleeping is one of my favourite things to do
Glad to hear you’re feeling more human.
I knew there was a reason why sleeping is one of my favourite things to do
'Death's second self' as Shakespeare termed it. But also 'To sleep, perchance to dream.' That's what I love about sleep. I have a rich dream life. I love dreaming. It's like seeing a film playing out in your head, with no idea what might happen next.
Since I've been off work, my sleep pattern has improved. Getting 8 hours a night now, but still finding I need to nap during the afternoons. I usually just lie down under a thin duvet - and Daisy comes and curls up by my chest and joins me!
Glad you're feeling better now, Ed. Your body is clearly telling you something.
