...PUT UP ANOTHER POSTING titled "marathon sleep" ~ but that's what I did last night. I went to bed last night absolutely frazzled. Too exhausted to look at the TV screen, things were swimming in front of my eyes. I felt too blurry for words.
So I slept right through from 9pm to 9am. Still too exhausted. Slept another two hours 10am to midday. Then I had to get up. Didn't want to preserve the sacredness of sleep.
I missed Ugly Betty to retire early last night ~ so I must've been exhausted.
Though people ~ and even some doctors ~ say you "shouldn't sleep too much" ~ I feel far better for it.
I suppose I'm going to have to go for this multivirus test ~ HIV/AIDS (don't think it's that); Hep B (already immunized); Hep C (have the symptoms, but then have had such symptoms for years and the last test showed negative) and syphilis (don't have the symptoms).
So I don't know. My druggieworker wants me to go through this test but I'm unenthusiastic about doing it via someone I know even though she assures me it's not "in my name" ~ that's still not proper confidentiality. And even if I did have hep C no way on earth am I having liver biopsies ~ or even worse interferon combination therapy. No way!¬

didn't want to "preserve" the sacredness of sleep ... or disrupt it?
ReplyDeleteI would dearly love to get a couple night's sleep like that. But I wake up too early.
ReplyDeleteI feel like s**t if I have too much sleep - I don't think too much is good for you. I hope the sleep is not symtomatic of something serious.
ReplyDeleteI hope your okay..
ReplyDeleteCould it be allergies? I feel extremely tired if I breath lots of dust. Like going into an old bookstore, attic, basement, dusting or using a vacuum. I develop the "sluggies" for the next couple of days. I even feel as though I'm running a slight fever. Doctor says its allergy related.
I need to get more sleep also. But for some reason I've become a nighthawk.
ReplyDeleteAnon: yes I got it wrong. Really I didn't want to disrupt the sacredness of sleep.
ReplyDeleteJeannie: wish I could wake up too early for once. But feeling OK
Akelamalu: I don't know why but I felt like I'd been out raving all weekend or something like that. And I hadn't. Just been living my boring life. And felt that frazzled... why??
MDA: o no allergies ~ hadn't even thought of that
Syd: I used to work nights. I'm a night person so the cream of my life was stolen from me and all I could do was sleep ALL DAY till I had to get up... just to work again
nasty business
Half your luck. I'm a five hour a night sleeper. Just can't do it captn. Why would you need to be tested for syphellis for heaven's sakes. Just do it and then you have peace of mind. Isn't too much sleep a sign of depression? Are you using this week?
ReplyDeleteJust a note Gled: most blogs that load slowly are "graphic intense" and that's the cause - images, not text. So you slept to your satisfaction eh? Wonderful!! It's a semi-guilty pleasure, yes? Technically it's impossible to get "too much sleep" the guy that made that up was someone's boss waiting for someone to punch a clock.
ReplyDeleteNote: Hep C is tricky, you can have symptoms (or not) but test negative, then positive, then negative again. It's in the nature of this virus. My brother went thru the interferon treatment and got his health back, and even remembering that fatigue he'd do it again - actually what choice do you have? Get the biopsy Gled, just do it so you know. Labs can't always give you a definitive answer. OR: You can ignore it
