Pre-dawn awakening

Ramesha often wakes up in the wee hours of the night and can’t go back to sleep, so he gets up and does his morning meditation practices — at 2:30 or 3:30 am — then goes back to bed.

Well, last night was my turn to have trouble sleeping, finally getting up at 3:30 am. I read my book for a while; drank some chamomile tea; and meditated.

But instead of going back to bed I figured it was a rare opportunity to shift myself to more of an “early to bed and early to rise” routine.

I was pretty pooped all day, but I’m hoping it will prove to be worth it.

Answering the “tired” question

Yikes! Why am I so tired?!?

Well, it’s true that the weekend wasn’t exactly restful. It’s also true that — true to form — the more overwhelmed I feel, the more energy it takes to get anything done at all. Plus the resulting unsettledness contributes — yet again — to staying up later and later into the wee hours.

The good news is that I was finally able to get my eyes examined and new glasses ordered. I was already at least a year overdue for it when the pandemic hit, forcing me to wait even longer. Definitely feeling relieved to have a clean bill of eye health and to be replacing glasses that were starting — literally! — to fall apart.

On the other hand, nowadays a trip to town is exhausting in and of itself.

Okay! Well, I guess that pretty much answers my opening question.
