Restful Sleep

Day 249 of writing every day.

Getting enough sleep is critical to good health. Being unemployed for a while, I haven’t had the chance to get worn out from a full day of work the past few months with the exception of days where I had a busy schedule regardless of work.

It’s hard falling asleep without feeling tired, but I still napped in the afternoon for up to an hour when I started getting drowsy either from not getting enough quality sleep before, or just post lunch food coma, or maybe a combination of both. Some people just naturally want to and do better with a nap in the middle of the day.

So my sleep quality at night hasn’t been that great. It’s not an issue of staying asleep but feeling the urge to fall asleep. Sometimes I do feel a little drowsy momentarily at night, but then that drowsiness passes and I feel alright for a couple more hours. If only that were the case during the day, I’d have less issues weighing the choice of taking a nap or trying to do something during lunch break when I was working.

Despite not fitting in as many straight hours of sleep, I’ve been dreaming about a variety of things, and while not exactly nightmares nor happy dreams of idling around, they offered some sort of excitement and triggered emotional responses I usually don’t feel while in my room. I still felt like I slept better as a result, however.
