3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

I seem to have unwittingly built up considerable sleep debt over the past few days, and last night my brain demanded repayment! I crawled into bed defeated around 20:45 and aside from a wee in the small hours got up again at 5am - 8 hours is a marathon sleep by my standards!

My bodyclock has been lapsing backwards recently due to the lack of a regular routine, without me really noticing. It would suggest that even when there's nothing pressing, a structured day is still important.

The "last straw" for my brain was possibly a minor falling-out with Missus over the NEXT catalogue - over her continuing to use this company when the customer service is poor. This is a "raw nerve" for me and though I didn't "lose it", I did get annoyed. The minor but unexpected stress burned seemed to prove the tipping point for an under-rested brain! A compromise with Missus was reached where I agreed to research other catalogue companies, and suitably rested, the day begins with stability restored!

In August, though Missus is at home, a structure will return as my Practice re-starts, so Missus will have to conform to it! It's in her best interest as well as mine.

8. TRIVIA
Some children and pregnant women crave non-nutritive substances, such as paint, plaster, rocks, and dirt. These cravings may suggest the person lacks certain minerals, such as iron.

Defeat lies not in failing or making mistakes; rather, it lies in giving up on ourselves when we do so.
