Menopause has not been especially fun...
Aug. 13th, 2019 08:14 pmMenopause has not been especially fun but I would 100% trade not-having-a-broken-thermostat for the ability to fucking sleep again. Waking up four or five times a night is absolutely fucking bullshit. I LIKE sleeping. I am good USED TO BE GOOD at sleeping.
The internet: Be more active.
Me: More active than the ~13k steps I get in most days? Y'know, I pull this No Sleep Till Brooklyn shit when I get 25K step days, too. I am not sure "active" is the problem.
The internet: Stop smoking.
Me: Did that in 2003.
The internet: Limit caffeine after lunchtime.
Me: BEEN DOING THAT.
The internet: Drink less.
Me: Less that two beers a month? Okay...
The internet: Don't do anything in bed but sex and sleep.
Me: OK.
The internet: Set bedtime, set wakey-wakey time.
Me: I fucking do that. I go to bed at 10 PM. I wake up promptly at 5 AM. (Also at midnight, at two, three, and sometimes at 4.)
This is, as I have said, bullshit.
The internet: Don't nap.
Me: I... that's the only fucking sleep I get. Hour, hour and a half naps. At nighttime, when I'm in bed and it's dark. Sleep a little, wake the fuck up, sleep a little, wake the fuck up.
