went to the Dr. 10 days ago & my CPAP download said i was getting an average of 4.8 hours sleep a night over the last three months. some people can function on this amount of sleep. i cannot. cannot function. at all. getting the sleep i need is THE priority in my life. it's my job now. made a few changes & have averaged 8 1/4 hours sleep over the last 9 days. averaged. i probably have not averaged that amount of sleep over that time period for 20 years. maybe more. so i'm doing well at 'work'. all i have to do is avoid getting excited & thinking 'now i can do all the stuff i've been wanting to do'. wrong. now i can keep getting 8+. that is all that matters. the only thing. 8 hours a day[night]. that is what i require to ensure that Denise has a nominally functional husband. it's a worthy goal.
LargeLove to everybody who knows that i love 'em and LargeLove to all the everybodys who don't know that i do. peace. out. the PROJx ... accept no substitutes.

thats good neil! before crys (b.c.) i averaged 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night: going to bed at 1am and gettin up at 4:30am - or some variation depending on the shift i worked at the time... but i did that for about 10 years... (when insomnia hands you a lemon, uh... drive it?!?) useta pride myself on my lack of sleep... "idiot" comes to mind.
i sleep more now, maybe not all at once, but i get at least 6 hours now sleeping in 3 to 4 hour shifts - 11p to 3am then maybe 6am to 8am.
i'm sleepy right now! not so much insomnia thats keeping me awake as it is me just being too stubborn to lay down and close my eyes; afraid i might miss something... like... uh...
uh...
