caddymanI think that tonight I shall be going to bed a little earlier than I did last night. Or rather I shall go to bed at about the same time and not bother reading for so long!
The past couple of weeks I have been turning in before midnight – one night I was in bed by 9.30 which is almost unheard of, but I was so tired it couldn’t be helped.
For the past few years I have –let’s face it – kidded myself that I don’t need much sleep. If that was ever true, it’s not true now. I still don’t need as much sleep as some people seem to, but frankly, since I have been getting more than four and a half hours each night during the week and trying to make up the deficit with Saturday morning lie-ins, I have felt rather better. I don’t feel like dozing off in the afternoon, for one thing (though the lack of carbohydrates also means that I don’t face the dreaded carb coma, either). No, I have found that by going to bed between 11.30 and midnight (with the exception possibly of a Friday night) and getting about 7 hours sleep suits me rather better.
Last night I read until about 1.20 so got a maximum of five and a half hours of the old dreamless and now I am feeling tired. Not as tired as in times past, put more so than of late (I want to write ‘tireder’ but there is, amazingly, no such word). So tonight I shall watch Secret Society on the telly box at ten o’clock and then turn in shortly after eleven. I may read for half an hour but then that’s it. I am aiming to get back to the seven hour sleep and I don’t care who knows it.
