When this new reality began to dawn on me, it was easy to fall into old habits, to allow the pain, the torment, the suffering, the why-me cries to the universe to become my new experience. From what I have read of most moments of life-crises, this can be a common response. It isnt empowering. Dont do it.
Lastnight took me longer than expected to drop off to sleep, though I deliberately went to bed a little earlier so I can begin to align with my return to work sleeping patterns. However for the first time lastnight I did wake up and my Apple Watch shows that I was awake for 75minutes, so I didnt get good deep sleep. I am aware of waking up on previous nights and falling back asleep almost as fast, but lastnight was less effective. I will keep an eye on what factors are playing out to see if there are obvious things I am doing or not doing. I did take an NAC tablet right before bed and got it stuck in my chest, so I am sure that didnt help.
