Nothing too much to report. I've been trying to concentrate on completely cutting out the bar scene and alcohol from my life. Yesterday, I drove home a different way that doesn't take me past my local hangout and listened to a podcast called Sober Sisters that is just about the length of that drive to help out. I don't think I have a problem with alcohol abuse, but even 1-2 drinks after work seems to interfere with my sleep, getting up the next morning, eating at home, working out, and budget, so it's time to just really start cutting it out. It did seem to help. The sisters seem pretty damn relatable and funny, which helps make the "social" aspect not quite so missed too. I was laughing at them on the way home. Hopefully this will become a new pattern that I can get instilled in myself.
Review: I've been using the app Loona and even paid for the full year subscription. It really does help me get to sleep faster. Last night I was struggling with the new "sleepscape" b/c it took almost half an hour. I've started trying to listen to the stories that go with the sleepscapes too and I don't think I've made it through one of those yet. It took me a few days to be able to get my brain to calm down into it and focus, but now it's almost immediate.
Question: Does anyone else suffer from night sweats? I know it's because of my medication, but they are really starting to make me miserable. I've googled a bit and can't really find anything except a med change or commiseration, but if anyone has any recommendations on controlling them, I'd love to hear/try it.
Otherwise, SSDD. Too much work to do and not enough "me" or hours to get it all finished.
