I began dozing off while watching TV with my belovéd last night, so she very sensibly sent my ass to bed at about 11 o’clock . . . and I slept straight through until 5 o’clock, at which point I awoke refreshed but not overly energetic. If I’m reading my condition correctly, this means I won’t have quite as much time in the evenings (which I’ll miss), but getting a good block of uninterrupted sleep leaves me less likely to doze off while I’m driving home from work (which would be a very bad thing).

I’m leaving the alarm set for 6:30 as an emergency backup, but I haven’t needed it since going off my antidepressant medication.
