I've been quite stressed this week but more in a "lot of work" & "too much peopleing" kind of way & I am happy not in a "I've been set up to fail & too many things remain unsolved" kind of way. The exhaustion is there but mentally I feel better at least bc I got more closure.
When I had #sleepIssues I've really enjoyed spot the object games on my switch. It's capturing enough to keep away the anxious spirals & unexciting enough to make me tired.

For those who don't know, Himself has some pretty awful chronic pain issues and sometimes has extremely bad nights. We have had 2 of those nights this week.

He also has fairly bad asthma which also leads to bad nights sometimes, although not this time.

This is on top of my own sleep issues, so I am a bit of a mess today.

So, yet another night I wake up at 4. This time partner snoring. Ear defenders worked a while but I can't lay on my side with them, which is how I usually sleep, so I moved to the sofa. I fell back asleep just in time to be woken mid-dream by my alarm feeling absolutely destroyed. 😖 #insomnia #ActuallyAutistic #SleepIssues #Anxiety

Experiencing the worst night yet... Woke up to go to the bathroom after ~2.5h, been largely awake since then 😭
Considering calling in sick tbh... 😬 Or at least try to work from home.

I've been trying to get my wake-up time back to 08:00ish from where it's settled recently at 14:00.

13:00...12:00...11:00... I've made progress over the last week even after our 8+ hour DnD session.

Theeeen I had a night gig and I'm right back to 14:30 orz

Why do some women wear low-friction nightwear?

I'm learning the hard way that there may be a practical reason, because my butt just passed a threshold where I cannot spin in bed any more wearing cotton or other medium friction things and it's driving me bananas. 🍌🍌

So I'm trying low friction, and it's working.

Anyone else run into this?
