SHEs Organized

ty`Nancy.
Long`ago`I`gave`up`cops`and`murder`shows.`Recently`I've`rarely`watched`them`
-only`in`8.30pm`time`slot.
It`takes`me`at`least`30`min`for`bbr`which`includes`day`review/summary/sticker`cards.
Before`then`I`often`crochet`with`"gentle`tv.

Last`night`I`was`out...talking`to`a`friend`til`10.
Then`I`watched`a`religous/spiritual`program`featuring`teaching`philosophy`in`schools.
and`neatened`ends`in`the`last`row`of`crochet`rug.(5th`of`9`rows)`I`may`have`just`sat
some`more...Oh`yes`a`program`on`opera.
this`as`wind`down
as`in`the`past`home`and`straight`to`bed`doesn't`work/hasn't`in`the`past..
I`Did`Not`turn`on`puta.
then`s2pjs`inc`wash`hair`as`scalp`was`suddenly`very`irritated.
Suddenly`it`was`after`midnight.
Good`quality`sleep`though.
Resetting`bodyclock`with`morning`sun`each`day`about`7.30am.
Avoid`bright`lights`at`night`as`they`reset`bodyclock.

This`month`already`have`1`X`3am`bedtime`after`evening`out...(and`eating`crud...for`me`anyway)

thanks`for`the`info`Harriet.`Yes`BBR=before`bed`routine
These`days`I'm`quickly`asleep`once`I`climb`into`bed.
I`count`it`as`resting/part`way`to`sleeping`if`I`can`be`comfortably`relaxed,so`thats`no`worry
even`if`I`don't`drop`off`quickly.`I'`only`get`up`if`...after`an`hr`I`can't`be`still`physically,
or`feel`agitated...Its`been`months`since`that`happened.

My`thing`is`to`get`into`bed`earlier..`Evening`social`gatherings`are`part`of`my`delay.
Lately`I've`been`waking`at`5am..often`need`rearrange`covers...maybe`loo
then`if`I`can`I`let`myself`go`back`to`sleep.`I'm`fortunate`that`my`MR/schedule/appointments
allow`me`to`rise`when`it`suits`me`(mostly).

Puta`off`time`is`aiming`for`8.30pm.`Not`watching`"stimulating/must`see`the`end`tv.
beyond`9...ok`sometimes`don't`do`this.
It`is`necessary`if`I've`been`out`to`unwind`before`I`try`going`to`bed.

I`mostly`don't`drink/snack`late...beyond`water.`
I've`taken`to`a`drink`of`?milk`with`carob`mostly`straight`after`evening`meal.
Last`night`I`just`sat....a`long`while`before`bed...`so`it`was`after`12`by`the`time`lights`were`off.
tv`was`even`off`before`10...I`did`do`my`readings`late/before`bed`though.
ok...Need`go`do`todays`now...usually`do`them`before`breakfast.
today`I`did`lol`X`3`instead.

If`I`keep`the`average`bedtime`getting`earlier...hope`to`win`this`battle.
Waking`times???`we'll`see.
Napping...I`only`do`if`I'm`literally`falling`asleep...not`just`because`I'm`tired.
Though`Sleepwarrior`suggested`they`were`helpful...particularly`for`the`sleep`deprived.

If`I`could`be`rid`of`constant`headache`...that`will`help`too...Will`try`anthistemine
as`it`is`often`food`related.`Neck`is`way`out`as`well.
I'm`unable`to`use`a`pillow`atm.

I put daily pm routine on my weekly list
and it's been making a difference.
I got the coffee pot ready to go for the morning last night
rinsed the dishes and they are ready to load today.
I've been working on the counters in the am and pm and it's starting to show yea!!!

I turned off the TV and did my weekly reading!
Had a lovely time and
slept pretty well.
