Day 6 - 80 -- Altering Routines

For yet another night, I struggled to get to sleep and woke tired. The sun was shining much of the day. A very productive meeting helped to move a presentation project forward together. Much work left to do, but it felt good to pulling things together.

I've been working to understand why I'm not sleeping well these days. No single thing seems at the crux of the sleeplessness. One night maybe, but not the other nights. This conundrum began an examination of evening habits. It doesn't seem that anything major has changed over the past few weeks. Other than the time change, nothing external has appeared in my environment. My usual evening routine has not changed, either. It may be that there has been a migraine this week -- some symptoms encroached on my days earlier in the week. Perhaps this may impact my sleep patterns. The detective work will continue, while I focus on relaxation techniques in the evening and include a daily walk -- though most days do have this, there are occasions when this is missed. Another work in progress. <smile>

A song from the dim, distant recesses of my brain surfaced tonight. If the environment isn't the cause of wakefulness at night, and it might be my habits, these lyrics fit perfectly with these thoughts. This was originally part of a movie staring the singer and Mary Tyler Moore. I recall that I liked the movie when I was a kid. It might be worth seeing if it available to stream somewhere <smile>. Enjoy!
