Sleep.

[swestrup]

Sleep did not go well. This has turned into the worst bout of insomnia I have ever had. I had planned to hit the sack by 8:00 pm, but somehow I wasn't in bed until 10:30. Then, I slept until 3:00 and couldn't fall back asleep until 6:00 am. I woke up at 9:00 and 10:00 and again at 11:00 and now I guess I'm up for today.

Bleah. I just wish I could sleep properly again.

Getting enough exercise? I find when the body is tired enough, the brain is forced to shut down - even in the presence of stress items...

Definitely not getting enough exercise. I find that when I leave the house, I spend money, so I'm being a hermit. The thing is, other than walking up and down the stairs (which my doctor doesn't recommend, because of my knee), there's not much to do here which is exercise.

Have you tried isometrics - those things we did back in gym class - push-ups, sit ups - those type of things, and using impromptu weights with a stringent form (I've done bicep curls and arm extensions with full orange juice jugs).

Stretches are important as well - I don't do enough, by far, and my hamstrings act like they have tendinitis because of it (way too tight, so when I walk fast, at times they pull...)

None of these are exciting, but discipline rarely is.
