stormdogMy mood crashed last night for no good reason. I think it was at least in part due to tiredness. Instead of working on my radio, I played games on the couch with Danae and went to bed a bit after 8.
Now that I have a Fitbit that watches my sleep, I can see how much I'm getting: it's been enlightening. It says I fell asleep at 8:43 and woke up at 4:00. Typically I'd sleep until 4:30, but I think the dog had to go earlier than usual because his last walk was also earlier. Thanks to tiny-dog's tiny bladder, I didn't get the extra bit of sleep I was hoping for; Fitbit says I slept for six hours and 25 minutes. My sleep time from Monday and Tuesday this week were 6:37 and 7:09. This disabuses me of the notion that if I lie down at 8:30 and get up at 4:30, I get something like eight hours of sleep. I may need to set an earlier bed time if I can figure out dog scheduling. I need more sleep than that.
I'm not sure how much to worry about 'restless' times vs. asleep times as long as I'm not actually awake. Some periods of movement are normal and don't cause problems. But even with the restless times included, it was it was 7 hours and 13 minutes of sleep. If the dog hadn't woken me up, it would have been *almost* 8 hours...
