Alternate Blurting I: Wasteland

When NyQuil doesn't work, it's time for the moonshine remedies.

It sucks when you cannot get to sleep. I have trouble staying asleep but I can go to sleep in under 2 minutes. I do it through a breathing techniques that I no longer even think about now I just think sleep and I'm asleep. It's almost self-hypnosis. The idea (which may or may not be scientific in case it's psychosomatic I don't want to know) is to increase the carbon dioxide level in your blood by breathing in a slower more shallow way. You do it without in any way holding your breath or getting that feeling that you aren't breathing normally you just sort of slow your breath down and just don't breathe quite as deeply and you concentrate on doing that and sleep happens. In a lot of ways it's probably not that much different than counting sheep and uses the same principle it is taking your mind off of whatever problems are keeping you awake and giving you something else that is neutral to think about.

I've driven for about 30000 hours in the past 10 years or so. I know my limitations and when I feel that I am sleepy I will pull over wherever I'm at and tilt my chair back I can set an alarm for 22 minutes and get exactly 20 minutes of sleep.

The problem with alcohol is although you will appear to be sleeping it's not very good sleep. I don't know the science of it but it's not the same as a standard sleep cycle which is what you need in order to feel like you actually rested.

It goes without saying that cycles of caffeine can completely disrupt your sleep cycles.. I get it that most people don't want to give up that pick me up but I avoid that nicotine and sugar. When I absolutely have to have a pick-me-up I use sugar but the drop-off is brutal.

I wish you better luck tomorrow night.

what a beautiful day

starting with coffee, burrito, and a small poem crafted by H for/about me, continuing with feeding the animals and finalising the second dig-over of the second half of the carrot bed - de-stoning it and getting out tree roots etc..., then more coffee and a cool down as i continued hooking my rug, and about to go back out to add sand and peat moss to the carrot bed and give it its final rake over. ma'am's got supper organised so no cooking tonight, but i think a soak is in order. bubbles!
 
damn, i am knackered! the bath was restorative, but everything's like 'nuh huh, don't wanna move'

H is still at it out there. i'd better go drag his butt indoors. :):heart:
 
he managed to sunburn the top of his arse, bending over with his jeans slipped down a bit and his top pulled up as he reached into the earth :rolleyes: bless

I shouldn't be laughing. I really shouldn't. :D I should have some sympathy. I really should. :D

Cranking that butthurt up to 12, eh?

Oh, I don't think you are *that* hurt. I think you doth protest to much. You like a little butt-hurt, if you know what I'm sayin'!
