Normally I would have a 30min power nap about midday.
But - in heatwaves such as this one I cannot concentrate or co-ordinate - heat makes me feel ill, so I reverse things - I sleep during the heat of the day and stay up all night when it is cooler. Not everyone's cup of tea but it is the only way I can cope.
69F at the moment - which is just about bearable for me but it is due to hit 88F by lunchtime. May just be a warm day for Australians but I really cannot cope with heat - never have been able to - much prefer a goodly frost. I am told that makes me a weirdo!
I always feel worse if I nod off during the day, so try and keep busy until bed time. If I nod off during the day, it means I'm coming down with something.
Used to Nod off during the day when doing the Burning the candle at both ends thing, used to wake up feeling like I'd done a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson.
I need a power nap quite often. If settling down close to Holly’s usual meal time I’ll set the alarm. Usually I go right off and wake up confused! Where am I, what time is it…
