I had to stop and grab this image. For me, it is Tylenol for arthritis, I have some upstairs to take before bed and some downstairs to take with breakfast.
At most I got five hours last night. Recently, I had two awake hours in the middle of the night.
Maybe I should purchase this shirt; it's pretty accurate.
Life is interesting.
Don't know how you remain 'human' with so little sleep. Kudos to you! I need at least 8, and am pretty grumpy without that. The T in the last picture though, I definitely can relate to that!
ReplyDeleteI have also been having issues staying asleep. Fortunately I have been getting at least seven hours, not much for me, but better than five!
ReplyDeleteAh the aches and pains we all deal with. Tylenol helps when I have pains and I get to sleep better then. Sorry you are still one of the most awoke persons around. Not woke, but maybe also.
ReplyDeleteSad post today. Too bad you're feeling down.
ReplyDeleteI use melatonin for sleep. It works for me. Celebrex, Gabapentin and Tylenol are my pain relievers. I have a single story house so they are all in the kitchen cabinet. I could also use that Tshirt
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine sleeping all night, it's been so long. And I love the ibuprophin and t-shirt. That shirt is the best.
ReplyDeleteI know that I would be useless with so little sleep. That alone makes you remarkable.
ReplyDeleteI think what irks me the most is that I no matter how much sleep I get, I wake up exhausted. I don't understand why.
All the aches and pains that go with aging. And with changes in the weather.
ReplyDeleteI need more sleep than that but 6 or 7 hours is okay.
ReplyDeleteAging sucks!
Love that first quote! My wife seems to have more aches and pains that I do, but I'm sure my time is coming.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well friend! Aloha
ReplyDeleteWhen people say that "they sleep like a baby," that's not a positive. I remember the 2 hours awake at night with an infant; it was a dreary time.
ReplyDeleteI am assuming much of your discomfort is perhaps due to needing to insert tubulature where your body would rather it not be. I am sorry that has been an ongoing struggle. Do you have a set date for the new procedure (I may have missed that)?
ReplyDeleteFor me, I have upstairs and downstairs (prescription) reading glasses. I also have (prescription) reading glasses in my U office and in my bass clarinet case. I have never been friendly with actual bifocals (I do have a pair of those too) and CANNOT adjust at all to “progressives”….they make me have motion sickness.

Like you, I don't sleep well. On a good night, I get 5-6 hours, of sleep, divided into segments...an hour or two at a time. Been going on for a long time.
ReplyDeleteAt 78, I don't expect it to change, so I don't have expectations of a good night sleep before the long, long one.
I hope your medical problems do have some resolution, you have my sympathies.
Cheers,
Mike
I am starting to get aches and pains in my back and neck. Visiting Thai massage monthly now
ReplyDeleteKey word here is quality of life . Sometimes there's limited quality on some days.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, my apartment is on one floor. I take two ibuprofen before bedtime and generally get seven or so hours of decent sleep.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I too have morning and evening Tylenol (1) plus Ibuprofen (2). If I forget to take the morning dose, I can hardly move.
ReplyDeleteYes, life is interesting.
ReplyDeleteKeep your head up and through.
Warm greetings to you.
Life is interesting. It'd be bad to be bored. We live in a bungalow, so this doesn't apply to us!
ReplyDeleteYeah, feelin' it! I take Meloxicam for arthritis pain, just one does me all day. Amazing stuff suggested by my pharmacist daughter-in-law.
