Less than 4 hours sleep & my body trying to roast me after two days of ridiculously high temps. Today is supposed to be 10°C cooler but right now at 05:35 it feels 10°C hotter than the last two days.
So, nobody remind me what it's like to feel comfortable or relatively comfortable.
So… this is what the frying pan looks like from down here in the fire?

Okay, on less than two hours sleep & a bit over an hour of Mastodon, I'm gonna tackle my chores & then either, crawl back into bed or have breakfast & see how the rest of the day goes.
Less than two hours of sleep. Nightmare wakes me up & then my body turns up the heat.
I mean, seriously? That's taking the piss.
I guess I could get some of my chores out of the way but I'm roasting 🥵.
Thanks mother nature, you suck at internal, organic plumbing.

Okay body of mine, I've got up & taken a painkiller, then crawled back into the sleep apparatus known as B.E.D. The painkiller has been working for nearly an hour now, so why won't you let me sleep?
What's with, 'here's a screening of random bad decisions from your past' ?
Okay, fine… I'll get on Mastodon if it will stop this self-torture.
Why have I got a masochist for a brain?
*Kneels down in giant puddle, in a horrendous rainstorm & rants at the sky *
Whhhhhyyyyyy‽

Screw this, I'm getting up. May as well start my day … 5 hours early.
Maybe a miracle will happen & I'll actually feel up to doing things.

Feeling wierdly inspired to make a schedule or roster. Problem is I know I'm either, A) going to try it & fail within minutes, hours, days or at some point in the second week or, B) will find myself unable to try it because I've forgotten there's things I need to do that don't fit or because I just don't have the dice/spoons/battery.
It is of course typical that I'm settling down to have supper & watch a film before making an attempt to get to bed before 00:30 instead of after 02:30 when.this urge has to strike. I would like to be able to enjoy my mornings without sleeping or dozing through them.
Fingers 🤞 the movie & my supper distract me enough to leave it till a more sensible time.

Insomnia edition of me survived the pitstop at the art group (no dice for hanging around & peopling or doodling) & then getting the shopping done, all whilst having to people on trams & hoofing it between art group & supermarket.
I was definitely not up to driving on zero sleep.
Rats! Need to order new wiper as that's the other reason for not driving, been needing to get a new front wiper since last week 🤣 & figured it would start raining if I drove anywhere.
I guess that makes me a believer in the
god/dess known as Sod.
I'll order it when I'm back from my weekend away as knowing sods law I'd get a text halfway to my destination saying it's out for delivery & the prat will leave it in front of my house where anybody can nick it. Yep, that's my usual kinda luck.
Hope people are having a better or at least a less cursed with insomnia day.

Okay morning schedule rejigged but I'm now over 10 minutes behind 😆.
#AuDHD #Autistic #ADHD #ActuallyADHD #ActuallyAutistic #Life #Sleep #Insomnia #SleepProblems
Okay, may as well get myself into vertical mode & hunt down some breakfast & then rejig my day round the supposed extra 2½ hours of morning time available.
Alternatively, I'll get up, get downstairs & stall once I hit the sofa.

Okay Insomnia, you win but tomorrow night's my night & I expect a minimum of 8 hours of total, dead-to-the-world Z-time.
And no, Z-time does not mean zombie-time.
From @meresearchuk
This week we are raising awareness about the debilitating nature of ME/CFS. Sleep dysfunction is a frustrating symptom which includes changes in sleep quality, quantity, and patterns.
Read more about sleep in ME/CFS: https://bit.ly/sleepdayme25
I'm glad I managed to get a second go at sleep after only managing 2½ hours before my body became it's own inferno.
Got an extra 4 hours so I am in, zombie / sod everything, mode. I'm amazed I managed to & enjoyed reading a bit in my books & felt some sort of thing that helped me get on & tackle the washing up.
I can now enjoy lunch with nothing I need to do (other than wait for & survive my Mam's phone call). Monday is going to be a duvet day as I did not expect my body to attempt to burn it / me from the inside in the middle of the night.
I really needed agood night's sleep to help de-zombify me. Temp. = 11°C / Feels like = 10°C. Perfect 😌.
MY BODY: Quick, keep chucking fuel on the fire! This chest cavity & torso are going to be like the Towering Inferno, if it was horizontal … MUAH-HA-HA-HA! MUAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!…
Shipping forecast for my day, hours before my alarm:
Choking, right-side lung.
Tooth fragment, 4043, recurring 0.
Verses, 1, Me.
Throat, buggered.
Natures alarm clock & why I don't recommend it.
Other people:
Birds chirping, chorus crescendo
Human, stirring, clock, fly
Window smashed
Birds, 1
Okay, I just taught myself that wearing a snood/neck warmer as a sleep mask over a few nights is a bad idea. I've been doing it for over a fortnight (14 days).
It affects your eyes, eyesight negatively & gives you headaches when you're up & about.
Ordered a proper sleep mask last night & slept without my neck warmer round my head/eyes. I just hope it stays put as previous attempts at using sleep masks ended with me throwing them out for not staying in place a lot of the time (staple gunning them to my face just seems like a bad idea).
Also, south facing (Northern hemi.) bedrooms are shit for people with wafer thin eyelids 😩.

From ME Research UK:
For individuals with ME/CFS, sleep disturbances are a core feature of the disease. Whilst optimising sleep within the constraints of ME/CFS does not cure the disease, poor sleep quality significantly impacts quality of life.

My reboot took less than 7 hours 😃.
*Checks manual *
'… a self-reboot should take 8 hours, give or take ½ an hour…'
That might explain why I still feel like I need more down time 😕 & yet, I'm too awake for that.

* checks time* 22:59
Holy Crum! Is it already that time?
Best get my skates on for supper & maybe I can get up tomorrow & be early enough to finally try my first ever cup of matcha tea.
Will the caffeine help boost my morning zombie-head? 🤔
