Success, I think
Dec. 29th, 2024 07:55 pmI think I slept longer than usual but I'm not sure because I again started out the evening too warm and therefore took longer than normal to fall asleep (how long, I never know, because I no longer keep a clock in the bedroom and I lost my watch weeks ago), and because I took too much extra melatonin, which sort of brainwipes me, obliterates all sense of time elapsed.
Let's just say my foot-warming routine was a success and move on to the next stage of project sleep normally. I'm fairly sure that I slept at least as much as I do on my best nights, so today's fatigue and drowsiness were out of proportion. I've got to cut down on the extra sleep supplements because they make me drowsy during the day. I started last night by not taking the hemp/melatonin blend. Tonight I'm cutting back on the glycine and I'm not taking the liquid melatonin, which I guess I've been abusing somewhat to have cool dreams (it did seem to help me sleep more deeply as well). I'm counting on being able to sleep normally without these products, I'm counting on cold feet and not supplements being the key to a full night's sleep.
Today was a very unproductive day. I spent the morning too drowsy to focus and unable to go out because of the rain and my lack of serviceable shoes. The sun came out in the afternoon, so I got some exercise, but I had a snack that was expensive, calorific, and that gave me a stomachache, then I had to come home early because it got too cold.
Then I spent a large part of the evening deciding on skincare products to buy. I'm not sure how strong of a product I need at this point. Since my skin reacts so disastrously to everything and the stronger peel I have now works rather well and I don't want to spend too much money after that huge shoe purchase, I decided to err on the side of a lighter peel and a vitamin skin treatment.
