I’m groggy this morning and I “didn’t sleep well”… or enough. Could be a byproduct of excitement, it is the holiday season, and my Traveling Partner is here at home, which is definitely exciting. 🙂 On the other hand, my subjective sense of the quality of my sleep is rather distinct and separate from how much/whether I was sleeping at all; one of my least welcome sleep disturbances is “dreaming I am awake”. The experience of insomnia, with all the sleep deprivation discomforts… and none of the actual sleeplessness. I don’t feel rested. It is clear, from my sleep tracker, and also from waking myself snoring once or twice, that I did indeed sleep. lol

Fuck, I’m tired though.

I yawn my way through my morning routine, contemplating all the many ways my mind can trick me about my experience. There are so many…

…I’m definitely going to need to begin again…

…Coffee will help… 🙂
