Saturday, April 3

Estimated time to fall asleep: 5+ minutes of tossing that felt like more before orgasm then dropped off quickly. Saw 2:30 am

Number of times awake: slept deeply and without interruption until the alarm at 6:01 am

Approx. amount of time awake: don’t remember waking at all

Estimated amount of sleep: 2.5 hours

Stress: remembering to do my sleep journal. my sleep schedule causes stress between me & M. Still worried about money ’cause I’ve committed to a year of personal training and I shouldn’t have – got caught up in the sales pitch on a “high” day. Scott & I both need to get in and get checked out for sleep problems (husband thinks, from observation and research, that we both have non-24-hour circadian rhythm disorder) and we’ve got to keep Scott in school (how?!!!) long enough to be diagnosed. Mammegram was clear but doc was a recheck in May. I have Federal Jury Duty in May and I’m not looking forward to being in LA by 8 a.m. 25th anniversary this year and NO WHERE NEAR being able to fit in my wedding dress. (It looked good on Sam!) Cruise in November and hoping to be down but am not attending the gym :-(

Medications (what & when): – should have daily: BC, Valproic Acid, Prozac, tums

Naps (number, time of day, length): 1:30 to 7 (raced this morning)

Appetite (or loss of) during the day: sandwich for breakfast. fruit roll-up type, bannana & orange quarter after race. Denny’s – 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2.5 sausage links. Woke starving and went to Chili’s – half rack of ribs, loaded potatoes, chips/salsa, some onion strings, Diet Coke w/lime and refill.

Exercise: (gym at 3:30 p.m. 5-10 min warm up, weights, 30 min cardio) 5k with Sam – 3.1 miles in 60 minutes

Drinks: alcohol & caffeinated (number & when): Diet Coke about 8 p.m.

Rate how you felt today: (1 – Not very good; 2 – Somewhat tired; 3 – Fairly alert; 4 – wide awake) – somewhat tired but it’s a good tired

Irritability: (0 – None; 1 – Some; 2 – Moderate; 3 – Fairly High; 4 – High): maybe a 1 – I’m on a bit of a high

and my own questions:

Lights Out at 2:30 a.m. / alarm at 6:01/ slept like the dead.

ready for bed at 4 a.m. on Sunday (couldn’t fall asleep so picked up a comfort book. Finished book about 10)
