Before I got sick, I used to have a schedule about 6.30am to 10pm. Last night I didn't fall sleep until after 6 am
I woke briefly at 8.15am am due to noise from nearby building work, and woke properly then I think at about 11.30am. It takes me a while to get going in the morning, at least an hour but often a few hours before I feel properly awake and ready for the world. I was never like that before.
Sleep reversal has gone really bad this week. I've had a few sleeps til 3pm in the last week. I really need the sleep but it is not the ideal time of day for it. Waking earlier in the day didn't seem to get me off any quicker at night though.
Normally (ME normal) I am more like awake at 12 noon and fall asleep by about 4am, and I seem to function best when the schedule is about that. and I am really feeling the winter already (this normally doesn't happen until about November). I am hoping it was just a bad week and not the start of a really shit winter.
