In normal times, I get a pretty repeatable 5½ hours a night. That's with every piece of sleep hygiene I can think of, plus CBD to take the edge off the day and help me relax into sleep.

It's not enough. I can't stay asleep. I get up every day exhausted.

My circadian rhythm is a bit syncopated. 🙂 I'm groggy in the mornings, sleepy in the early afternoon (unless I'm fasting), and only really alert from early evening onwards. By late evening, I'm raring to go -- and that's when I'm supposed to close my eyes and go to sleep.

My sleep is a train wreck.

When there's stress, as there has been recently, with a death in the family, I sleep even less well. I've been getting 4½ to 5 hours' sleep recently. I've been considering taking an afternoon nap, like the old man I am, but it doesn't really fit into the work schedule. I haven't succumbed yet. 🙂
