I Am Always Exhausted

[b]Well, that was unexpected[/b]

One of my Christmas presents, & actually the one I was most excited about getting, was an activity/ sleep tracker. Frightfully boring to some I suppose but who doesn't want a nice bum? & I'm going to be forty in, ummm... two & a half years.

Oh my God!


Anyway, I managed after much awkwardness to get my hands, or rather my wrist on it last night. Eventually got it all set up, tuned in, & switched on. So here my are.

Altogether between REM & deep sleep you're supposed to get at least 45% in a night. I got 19% apparently. Which would explain the daily occurrence of zombie Sonnet.

Sleep is obviously connected to everything else in your life. You should eat well, & I do. You should exercise, I do that too. That leaves only one thing; stress.

So basically my activity/ sleep tracker has told me to murder my boyfriend/ bane of my existence in cold blood, then & only then will I be able to snooze peacefully. I'd need an iron clad plan to get away with it though.

Any thoughts?

Hi Sonnet, I have a Fitbit too, I have watched what I am eating, walking for exercise, and drinking plenty of water.
I've lost 13 pounds (UK) since starting in September.
I'm very happy to have one 馃槂馃槂

@Sonnet:
I wasn't heavy, but I feel energised and better for it, downside is that I have to buy some more clothes 馃槂馃槂

@LikeMind: you really have done amazingly well. I'm curious though, long do you walk for every day?

@Sonnet: I try to get an hour in each day, that's on top of any time in work, 2 hours on days off, but I think that the logging of food and drink is the key, I'd never have gone to Weight Watchers or used so called slimming foods. Having an app makes it so easy.
(I'm not involved with Fitbit btw)

@LikeMind: Lol! No, didn't think you were. & I asked. 馃槉 I've been tracking stuff for a couple of years. Just like you I've never been big. But I like to know what's going on with my body. & now I'll be able to get a more accurate read on it.

Regards to your walking though. It just goes to show that little changes do add up.

@Sonnet:
Yes, I'd never have believed it myself, also not drinking during the week has been beneficial 馃槂

@LikeMind: I've been positively plastered over Christmas. & ugh, no. I'm done with alcohol for the foreseeable. Lol!

@Sonnet: Ha-Ha, I can knock it back a bit myself, but I've shown restraint due to family commitments 馃槑馃槑
