It’s been a year since I started my transformation – good on me. No more smoking and eating healthy, focusing on ensuring my body was finely oiled and tuned to handle any situation. My mind went through quite the journey as well from events and issues that arose, however I think I made it out of this moderately well with minimal scars.
Over the past 2.5 years I’ve had a real problem with sleeping, my mind races far too much when I rest my head on the pillow. Even after heavy activity and exercise, it seems I just have a problem “shutting down”. I laughed it was the house I was in was haunted, but it only got worse. Living in a new place I still suffer, and some times it becomes very frustrating when I’m lying there, wide awake, knowing that I’m to be awake in 3 hours for something very important.
I eventually had to resort to speaking to a doctor and get on a medication. It slows me down, definitely and I am able to go to sleep. I’m doing my best to separate myself from this requirement, as I’m unsure if I’ll be able to a) have a stockpile to last the trip b) properly find/refill the prescriptions on the road.
I’d like to hear about other peoples comments of sleep deprivation and what they are doing to solve the issue.
