sleepy head
Something happened lastnight that RARELY happens: I was in bed before midnight! Actually it was even 11pm. Weird!
Yesterday I was SOOO tired for some reason. And no, it wasn’t a hangover. I hadn’t even gone out Saturday night, and because of that got 8-9 hours of sleep, but I was still fighting heavy eye-lids all day. Finally around 6:30 I gave up & take a nap for an hour, which felt good, but I woke up still feeling tired & out of it. So instead of trying to work I gave in & decided to just chill. I watched some TiVo’d shows (LOST! wow, crazy beginning to the season) & then watched a movie. But I was so sleepy that I had to stop the movie early & go back to bed! I know some of you are used to going to bed early, but for me it never happens, so I’m blown away by this.
I should probably add, I have been fighting off a little cold of sorts this last week, so that might be it. But I’ve been feeling like it’s going away since the symptoms are pretty much gone now. The sore throat came & went last Wednesday and I had some snot Thurs-Fri, but it’s been pretty calm since then. As soon as I felt something come on I started taking double good care of myself by not drinking & going to bed as early as possible (which for me is about 12:30), and taking my Perfect Health vitamins (my version of Zicam or Airborne). I’ve felt like I kicked it before it even became anything.
Thankfully I’ve been really healthy this year, which I attribute to taking a good daily vitamin, exercising regularly, and eating whole fresh foods. I think I used to get colds/sick way more often, and this is actually the first small cold I’ve gotten in *over* a year, so I’m happy it’s been so short & sweet (knock on wood). Maybe the sleepy mcsleeperson stuff is my body just making double sure it’s never coming back.

I’m going thru te same thing. Keeping a cold at arms length and it never manifesting but just being so tired.
