It started Monday, when I went to the library just so I could take out the trash after dinner so My Fucking Father wouldn't be able to look into the trash bin and suspect I took out a bag he threw in there. I stayed out that evening until a bit past 8, and I was so full of energy I stayed awake through the evening and didn't get to bed till, I think, the time of my actual rest, around 2:30.
It looks as though that stored up enough sleep debt where my body was demanding I take a long sleep. Couldn't do that Tuesday, when I took out the trash ostensibly on my way back to work "because I forgot to do something." That something actually turned out to be a massage from ******a, and that was so good that I wanted to "maximize" my body being thoroughly kneaded like it was. I didn't eat a midnight snake or drink any juice. I had a few sips of water and I crawled into bed just before 9 -- and my body responded by knocking me out until a bit before 4 in the morning.
I thought I was going to conk off at work; I did turn in seven hours of sleep, but I woke up two hours before I had to -- will I have enough energy? I still get in lunchtime naps, so I did power through. But after I lied about needing to go out again last/Wednesday night (said I had to go back to the library; I went out for ice cream and a much-needed walk around the Sculpture Garden instead) I got back home -- this time by 7, where I finally was able to take in the ABC sitcoms during prime time, the first time all season I've been able to do that. After that, a bit past 9, I crawled under the sheets and turned off the TV ... and I woke up just now, just before my alarm. First time in a long time I slept properly, let alone just short of nine hours.
Shoot, and I feel great! I think I'll be able to be alert through training in the morning. But now that the trash will be taken away and I won't need to go anywhere after dinner, will I revert back to my three-nap schedule, or will my body be "good" enough that I won't have to conk off this evening? And which will be better for my body? And which schedule will I like more?
