I find that getting up around 7:30am, having my coffee and watching the
Today show for about an hour and then having a fairly
busy morning, fixing lunch for hubby and I, resting for a few hours, fixing
dinner for us and a quiet evening then bed at 10:30pm,
read for about an hour before sleep pretty well does it for me. Of
course, my days get changed some by going to lunch with
2 different groups of friends and another group I go to movies with.
Then, my hubby will decide I need to get out of the house
and we go ride around for a while - after stopping for a "blizzard" from
DQ - and check out new areas of town. I must say, I really am "busy" in
the mornings with cleaning, ironing, PT exercises, laundry, etc. That
pretty well does it for me. I know I am fortunate to
be able to walk with a cane and be fairly independent inside of the house.
Outside of the house, I use a wheelchair.

If I can stay asleep until 11:30 am and not get up until 1, I am up until
4 am asleep by 5a.m. --
a 17 hour day -- and feel rested.
If I have to be up at 8a.m. and dressed by 10 a.m. (I'm paralyzed, it
takes time) I am exhausted by 4 p.m. in bed by 10 p.m. and unable to
fall asleep until 2 am and exhausted when i have to wake up
at 8 am -- a 12 hour day
This may be apropos of nada, but I wonder if others find that
recasting/reshaping their sleep/wake
cycles, grants more energy, buys more time.....
