Last night I began using appropriate "sleep hygiene". Must have spent ten minutes shutting off all the devices in my bedroom and unplugging everything that has a stand-by light. A cool, completely dark and quite room was apparently just too much of an adjustment for my system at once. As it turns out, when I put myself in an environment like that, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT is falling asleep. That is the kiss-of-death to a good night's sleep.
After four hours of trying to fall asleep, I wound up taking pics of my cats snoring away while piled on top of me.
After fun-with-camera-phone was over it was out to the kitchen for toast and then to the living room for an hour of video games. Slept in until seven today and helped out a friend after work, so no workout. Unplanned day of rest. It happens (it just happens to happen to me about twice a week).
Anyhow, hopefully catching up on sleep tomorrow night since it's already way past my bedtime again tonight.
Here's to adjusting to good sleep hygiene and hopefully uninterrupted nights of sleep in the future .
