Note To Self, Put Your Glasses On.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 21:12:31 GMT

I take my BP meds between 5 and 6 in the am and 5 and 6 again in the pm.

My insomnia has been insane, 4 nights last week I was awake all night and then fell asleep for 2 or 3 hours after DD left for work at 7:30am.

Last night my body finally said enough and I fell asleep about 10pm on the couch. I woke up, felt great. I didn't put my glasses on but looked over my shoulder at the clock. Ten to 6. Holy cow, I took my pills, went to pee and when I came back into the living room I put my glasses on and glanced at the clock again.

It wasn't ten to 6 it was 11:30. I had slept a whopping 1 and 1/2 hours.

Needless to say I didn't take my pills again at 5/6 this am.

Will take them on time shortly and remember to put my glasses on in the future.

Yes, definitely put those glasses on! LOL! I did something similar about 15 years ago, but with not-so-good results. I was going through a divorce at the same time my job (of 22 years) had been eliminated. My thinking wasn't too clear at the time. One morningI took my BP medication around 7:00 a.m. About an hour or so later I couldn't remember if I had taken the medication, so I took it again. What a bad decision! My BP must have really dropped and I felt absolutely awful. I should have called my doctor but didn't.

By the early afternoon I started feeling better, but the next day I went out and bought one of those pill containers with a slot for each day of he week! Never again!!

I have never frogged up with my meds, ever.

Since I felt good, and was brigt eyed and bushy tailed, when I did the quick over the shoulder glance I would have sworn it was ten to 6.

Next time glasses on or check the time on the guide on the TV. I can see the guide without my specks.

What a numbnuts I was.

I was the numbnuts, actually!! I have the same goofy sleep patterns as you, and I bet we're not alone!! Take care!

@jannabelle1 I told DD I am developing the sleeping habits of a cat. Up at night want to sleep all day. You take care as well.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 So glad you're okay. Who has not done something goofy? I need to have my readers hanging on a chain around my neck. I teach 3rd grade and was constantly putting my glasses down somewhere in my classroom. The other day, I couldn't find them; not around my neck, not on the desks. I asked my students if anyone saw my reading glasses, and one kid piped up, "They're on your face." I threw up my hands and burst out laughing. Seriously, you can't make up this stuff.

Linea has a nice chain for glasses, on sale. I never take mine off, blind without them.

Well, have you ever looked for your glasses while wearing them? Or looked for your cell phone while talking on it? I know someone who has done both.

Sorry about the insomnia. Terrible!

I have searched for my phone while talking on it. I have also looked for my glasses when they were right on top of my head.

I feel ya with the insomnia. Something happens to sleep cycles when you get old(er). I remember my Dad suffering from it. He used to go to the grocery store and wait for them to open at 6am just because he had been up all night and was bored.

I can't get my sleep straightened out no matter what I try. I fall asleep on the couch at 9pm, but I am wide awake by 11pm. Useless to go to bed because I just lay there wide awake. I can usually get to sleep by 5am but Lord help me if I have an early appointment because I am a slug. I no longer take any appointments before noon.

Even going to bed at 9pm in my bed I still wake at 11pm and the night is a mess for sleeping. It really messes with my brain.

I hate it. The mindlessness, the insomnia. I know my brain is messed up because of the non-refreshing reparative sleep, I just don't know how to fix it. My circadium clock is broken

Oh yeah. Sometimes glasses wearers are loopy. Both DH and I have computer glasses and we are always forgetting to change glasses when we get up from the computer, then wander around trying to figure out why we can't see anything.
