Re: How do you get through the day?

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!

Nodding off is practice sessions for the end of your stint in a human state.

Edit
Nodding of?

Today I got back from shopping feeling hot & exhausted. Lay down to have a rest & read a book & woke up 2 hours later!!

Anybody here not need a daytime nod - Or perhaps you have controlled nods?
Reading a book sends me to sleep too.

2 or 3 years ago I was reading a couple of books a week (crime fiction). I've given up completely, watch iPlayer or - more recently - Netflix instead.

Re: How do you get through the day?

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.

Re: How do you get through the day?

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…
