A Day for Sleep

January 13, 2017 3:42pm CST
I got up as usual at 5 this morning. I did not go to the pool. I had homework to do for my counseling appointment this morning. I kept falling asleep while working on the two books I need to read for it. As soon as I finished the necessary chapters, I went back to bed. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I got a nice power nap and got ready to leave. As soon as I got home, I did the Bible Study for today. It took over an hour to do it. I kept dozing off. I posted and went back to bed for another hour. Now it's going on four in the afternoon and I feel like I wasted the day, but I'm no longer tired. So I'll probably be up until midnight or later. I must have needed this sleep. I don't know any other reason why I couldn't keep my eyes open today. My computer has also been running very slow. It took a few tries to get into myLot and a couple of my games. One I still haven't connected with. I know it's Friday the 13th. I am not superstitious, so I do not believe that has anything to do with why things are acting totally weird today. Anyway, how has your day been going? Thanks for reading.

Good day here. Work and then cocktails with coworkers after that.

It happens to me too. There are days when my body tells me to just rest and relax. Most days, I'm up and about. Friday the 13th was like any other Friday for me.

@stbrians thanks. We need to listen to our bodies.

It's strange how the body works like that. Today is just another day for me too.

Maybe your body is telling you that you need more rest. It has been a pretty lazy day for me which is unusual. Just take it easy and rest.

I'm retired. I don't do anything but sit at my computer and compose topics and write books. I do go to the pool on most days and every so often I do some shopping and once a week the laundry. I'm pretty laid back and relaxed.

@just4him That's good. I am retired also but recently started helping take care of an 82 year old man. I do my crafts, write and other things to keep me busy.

@velvet53 That's good you can do that - care for an 82 year old man. I'm not crafty, but I do keep myself busy writing.

I'm not the least bit superstitious. Actually, it's been my lucky day and number. Hope you get to sleep at a reasonable hour and sleep well tonight.

You must have been pretty exhausted to have slept so much. Glad you feel better now.

Me too. I have no idea. I didn't do anything different, unless it was all those 5-6 hour nights catching up with me.

@stbrians I don't think I overworked myself. I've done nothing different.

My computer has been slow for a number of days now. It can be very frustrating.

Yes it can. I did a clean disk and then a reboot. The reboot sped it up.

I blamed everything on the weather moving through. I was sleepy yesterday and sleepy with a headache today. I could not get moving. If you need rest and get it then you do not really waste the day.

That's true. It doesn't feel like a wasted day, and I'm still getting the same amount of work done as before.

I am awake by 6AM but I only nap or feel the need to nap when I'm not well. I go to the pool 5 days a week just to do water aerobics. I need a knee replacement and once I get that I can use the gym again. Right now its too painful. I think its the weather, my computer (wifi) seems to stop every once in a while and I leave the computer and do something else...

@PainsOnSlate I agree. It's been so crazy lately and my sleep has been affected as much as it has been.

I don't usually take a nap, but the last two days have been the exception to the rule. It must be this crazy weather.

I have days like those. No matter what I do, I cannot keep my eyes open. When this happens, I take a nap if I can.

I hope that you got some rest for me today! I was up early also, around the same time as you. I just couldn't sleep. We drove for over 2 hours to go to the city that my husband had an interview at. Then we drove around the city a bit, and did a little shopping-just to get out of the car and stretch our legs. Then my husband dropped me off at a coffee shop while he went for his meeting, he was 90 minutes in the meeting, which I sat thru, then we drove about 30 minutes to a city to eat, sat thru that and then drove 90 minutes home. So I am tired from sitting-weird day for me too!

That makes me tired just reading that. You should sleep real good tonight. I hope with an interview that long that it looks promising for him.

Today was my day and it felt so weird. I had a moment to think about my being so tired. Yesterday when I was at the pool the water was cold to me, yet the lifeguard said it was quite warm. I realized today that I must have been getting tired yesterday as when I'm over tired, I get cold, no matter how warm it might be.
