I was so fed up reading about how important sleep is for all aspects of health. It was as if we were somehow deciding not to sleep well!
Last week, I asked the practice nurse I saw for my blood/medication reviews.
I said I didn’t always get a good sleep any longer and could she suggest anything.
She gave me a list of do’s and don’ts-what to eat or not to eat, when to eat or when not to eat, warnings about blue light and what supplements I might find useful, or maybe not. She could have been reading GN!
She asked what I’d tried.
The nurse then said, worrying about not sleeping is just as bad for you as not sleeping.
She suggested I should try doing something useful or enjoyable while I was awake-a cup of tea, or hot chocolate, doing a next day’s task, ironing, putting the washing on, making lists if I usually did that during the day, reading or listening to a book. She even suggested writing my memoirs.
I’ve been trying some of those . . .
This morning I woke up at 09.10! when DH brought a cup of tea. 🤗🤗
Sadly that meant we had a mad scramble to get into town for a Specsavers appointment!!
