Light Sleep or Restless Night

So I purchased a tech toy...I mean...a jawbone Up24.  It's pretty neat.  I wear it 24/7 and it sends information to my phone about my sleep and activity.  I'm most interested in my sleep.

The first night I wore it it said I had 3 hours of sound sleep and nearly 4 hours of light sleep.  The following nights went like this:  4 hours sound and 5 hours light,  4 hours sound and 2.5 hours light,  5 hours sound and 2 hours lights, with last night coming in at 2.5 sound and 4 hours light.  So it looks like I typically get 4 hours of sound sleep every night...except when I'm restless.

I didn't need my Up app to tell me I didn't sleep well.  I knew from the moment my alarm went off, as I usually awaken minutes before.  I found my brain highly nonfunctional throughout the day.  My vocabulary really suffered. 

I would call my night restless, Up calls it light sleep.  One does sound better than the other.  What do you call your?

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Movie Night

Image
It's family movie night at our house.  We just finished watching Earth to ECHO , a movie none of us had seen before. I liked it.  It was Sandlot ish... about a group of childhood friends, solving a problem and becoming better friends because of it.  It also reminded me of the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Flight of the Navigator , or  ET as the plot envolved children and space creatures or aliens. Next up is Big Hero 6 which we saw in the movie theatre and I wrote about in November.  I hope I can stay awake til the end. After that, they may watch The Book of Life but I'm sure I'll be asleep by then.  I love movie nightA

The Scooter

Well I'm back on the scooter I used for the two foot surgeries I had in 2016. It sure is better than the crutches! When I ring the bell I will think of the now retired librarian at our school who gave it to me five years ago. As I check my calorie tracker for today it states: 1694 calories food and 51 oz. water.
