sleep patterns

I typically sleep a couple of hours at a time. Waking up to have a pee and get a drink, then back to sleep.

Traditionally Deb would stay up till 10:00pm-ish.
I would stay up late, typically past midnight.

Getting to bed in the evening has changed:

Early evening and I am exhausted.
eg Friday:
Deb goes upstairs to watch Gardening Australia and do some exercise. It's early evening but I go to bed.
An hour later Deb is downstairs. I wake up enough to say goodnight, drink tea, go back to sleep.
Another hour, Deb turns off the TV, I say goodnight again... go back to sleep.

Next day: I wake early, 5:30 ish.

Breakfast etc.
Deb spends most of the day being taxi driver and minder for grandchildren. I spend most of the day sleeping. a couple of naps of half to one hour. With some spent reading and writing. 


8:30pm Deb goes upstairs to exercise.
I go to bed again.

It's a lot of sleeping:-)
But now -- very early morning -- I am awake enough to read and write. Which timing suits my preferences.

In total -- because I sleep a lot during the day -- I sleep more hours per day than in past years.
All part of the expected progress of my cancer.
