I passed out last night as soon as I crawled into bed even before I could even set my UP band or put on my sleep mask. I wear a sleep mask at night to help block out all light for deeper and more restful sleep.
Read MoreAfter being so exhausted from the long week it was nice to fall asleep last night without setting an alarm. I was able to sleep for almost 8 hours without waking up once except for a split second when I would flip onto my sides due to the discomfort that I still feel in my shoulders.
Read MoreWe didn’t make it to bed until late last night after staying up for a bit talking after coming back home from dinner. Couple that with waking up earlier than usual to take my mother-in-law to the airport and that results in not getting much sleep.
Read MoreIt is hard to believe that 6 months ago today we were at the hospital after I had a grand mal seizure that caused Laura to scream so loudly that 3 of our neighbors came rushing upstairs. All I remember is waking up dazed in the back of an ambulance with a paramedic speaking loudly at me and seeing Laura crying and scared. I then had another seizure once I got to the hospital.
Read MoreThe majority of last night was spent waking up to shift then falling back asleep then waking back up because Darren jumped up on the bed. Though I did get some deep sleep it was a fairly light night of sleep for me.
Read MoreLast night I missed my goal of 7 hours of sleep again only getting 6.5 hours. However, the biggest difference between the past 2 nights was last night I got under 3 hours of deep sleep. One big reason for this was that usually Darren sleeps with Laura but last night he shifted near me moving from between my legs to behind my legs to my feet to demanding to being petted. We think he was doing it to feel safe in our new home but it didn’t make for a consistent night of sleep for me.
Read MoreThough I didn’t hit my goal last night of a minimum of 7 hours, I was able to get 6.5 hours with almost 4 hours of that being deep sleep. Even though he usually doesn’t sleep with me, Darren spent all night at my feet. Whenever I would wake up to turn I could feel him against my feet.
Read MoreLast night was our first night sleeping in our new apartment. By the time we went to sleep I crashed hard and slept through the entire night. I woke up around 6:50a a bit confused where I was but quickly realized that we had moved. We ended up getting the day going relatively early since we had errands to run and wanted to tackle more unpacking before/after the Super Bowl.
Read MoreThis morning started earlier than usual for a Saturday since we had several things to finish before the movers arrived at 8:30a. As I did yesterday I pushed my shoulders harder than Laura or her mom felt comfortable with. Honestly, the past 2 days I have gone far outside of what my orthopedic surgeon would be happy with but it needed to be done so I had to deal with the discomfort and soreness.
Read MoreIt was wonderful sleeping in my own bed last night. I passed out hard and only woke up once through the night, sleeping around 8.25 hours. As soon as we woke up around 7:00a we got started with packing. Since we only had today to get it all done we didn’t want to waste any time.
Read MoreAs I was trying to watch TV last night I couldn’t keep my eyes open so called it an early night. While I didn’t remember to set my UP band before falling asleep I do know that I fell asleep by 9:30p and woke up around 6:15a.
Read MoreI never sleep well while traveling, usually tossing and turning several times throughout the night. For most people that wouldn’t be a problem but it caused me to wake up briefly several times throughout the night because I’m still feeling slight discomfort in my shoulders when I lay on them.
Read MoreEver wake up in the middle of the night wondering where you are? That’s what happened to me last night as a result of all of the recent travel. I had no clue where I was until it dawned on me that I was in Santa Barbara.
Read MoreI was near delirious with how tired I was last night so we crashed at 9:30p. It felt incredible crawling back into my own bed for the first time in 2 weeks. I woke up a couple times throughout the night confused by what time it was but was able to fall back asleep quickly each time.
Read MoreSince we didn’t fall asleep until around 2:15a and had to get up at 6:30a I was only able to sleep for 4.25 hours. After getting ready we said our goodbyes and headed off to JFK for our flight back to SFO. Though the flight to JFK from UVF didn’t seem so long, the flight to SFO felt like it lasted forever. I’m guessing that is due to how tired I am getting around 50% of the sleep I’m used to.
