Sleeping in Light
Jul. 22nd, 2010 09:45 amWell, not much to talk about other than the boring, so here I go.
I'm still working on that light therapy thing. The last few days I seem to have fallen into a pattern of falling asleep between 11:00 pm and midnight, and waking up around 8:00 am. I'm now sleeping with the blinds up so that the bedroom slowly fills with light come morning. Since the bedroom faces "North" (Actually North-East. Directions in Montreal are never what they appear) the room only gets direct sun in the late afternoon, but the light still helps to wake me.
Then, provided its sunny (unlike this morning) I take my first coffee out on the back patio and get a good dose of wake-up sunlight. I've started noticing the effect on my body when I do vs when I don't get some morning sun. Right now I'm only staying out long enough to have my first coffee as I don't have much of a tan. If we get enough sunny days in a row I should have enough of a tan that I'm willing to stay out longer in direct sun, and maybe read a chapter of my book.
In other news Linda and I continue to work on cleaning up and organizing the basement. Its a huge task and so its going slowly. Its made slower yet by the fact that we often have to move things to give us enough space to move things around and then we have to put the first set of things back. Yesterday we finally cleared a space where we can put up some of our shelves, so that's today's plan and then maybe we can get some stuff out of the way.
And that's about all that really exciting in my life right now. Aren't you glad I keep you informed?
