But I embrace this temporary feeling. I love that it's dark earlier and there is a nip in the air at night. And I have always enjoyed sleeping. Lately, though, I have had insomnia! Can't seem to fall asleep until after 3:00 am. I'm so glad I do not have to go to work nor do I have ANYTHING on my calendar (except for physical therapy). Don't know how people do that if they don't get their sleep. And I have several friends who are still employed at our age.
I have been walking 3,000 steps a day (thank you FitBit) hoping that exercise will help me get to sleep. After therapy tomorrow, I will see if it's okay to walk more. He wanted to build up the muscles around the knee before much walking. Hibernation is not so good for my new knee. The whole area is now a big bruise and I'm slathering coconut oil and Vitamin E oil on it to help things heal.
The best thing about hibernation? I get to fly to Maui in five weeks and we don't have time changes or nippy weather (usually) and it gets dark at almost the same time every day of the year.
I hope you're getting a first class seat on the flight to Maui. Those other seats would be hard on your knee.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great with your recovery. Don't worry about sleeping 15 hours. Your body is still in recovery mode and sleep is needed for that.
Oh gosh! I didn't think about going First Class ... good idea. This sleeping thing is good for my whole body. I STILL have a touch of that stomach thing. SOOOOO tired of that!
DeleteI understand. I'd like to sleep 15 hours or even 12, but too long in bed actually makes my back/neck/hips ache. So when the ache wakes me up, I get out of bed--usually 9 hours, which seems to be my sleep need.
ReplyDeleteSince I put a 3" foam topper on my bed, I no longer wake up with sore spots. It used to be my hips. I thinking about getting one for the King bed in Maui .... will need to save up for that!
