Day 14 of working again, Sunday - self-discipline at night, still tired at day :-/
Sleep: 9:10-8:30: 11h20-55=10h25. New tricks: After trying my super-twists to save doing exercises for my lower back, I used the cobra-position for 2mins, only in early morning did I have to take a “rest from sleeping”.
Answering Napping turns into 3-4 hours of sleeping. Does this happen with you too?, I reflected: My average sleep had increased from 8.5 to 9h/n, but working 15h/w still took my energy down to 50%*, which came back to 90% for 3 weeks in the prolonged Christmas break. Now in home office I’m trying to keep the energy up by sleeping 10h/n, which is working, and my energy is higher, but I still often get very tired. Since I need from about 9-9 to get the 10h of sleep this is only possible in home office. Now I’m trying to get the breaks at night down so I can get up at or before 8. And wondering whether the long sleeping is worth it - but at the moment I’m thinking having energy is more important than feeling awake…
(*Is it true that my energy was down to 50%?)
Activities: Singing 1.5h good, but tiring. Table tennis 7x, good compromise, pretty much with energy, despite tiredness. Video church services involved peopling/socializing again. like yesterday, that was pretty tough, had to take breaks.
Work: OK, pretty unmotivated tho, having trouble focusing, after I lost the good ideas a few nights ago, bc I didn’t want to get up to write them down.
Pain: Quite OK, tiredness (yawning a lot this last week) & sort of exhaustion, but didn’t have to rest after table tennis. Wondering whether I’m resting too much or “wrongly”. But at least I’m avoiding flaring, by doing the least necessary.
The tooth/jaw pain has continually decreased in this week after the RESET-treatment on Monday, but energy & arms have also needed a longer time to recover, only the breath was better the last few days.
Gut: Good, despite bloaty foods again (psyllium to be safe, helped I think).
