Thankyou my new friend :3
I find it really hard to imagine and put myself in the shoes of how other people experience day-to-day life without the ongoing struggle of sleep disorders causing regular chaos, unfortunately (or fortunately?) its a familiar beast.
As luck would have it - despite a few commitments on yesterday and today, I noticed a runny nose at the end of last week, testing positive on friday (using an at home test) for Influenza A (and a faint positive for Influenza B too) which was a more socially acceptable reason to withdraw this weekend.
To try and avoid mucking up my circadian rhythm, once it got past the point of a sensible sleep time last night, I've kept myself occupied with light entertainment on Netflix whilst drawing/scribbling on procreate on my ipad - chilling in bed (with my oodie on) trying to sweat out the Flu.
Once it gets to around 7.30pm tonight I'll try and proactively catch back up on the sleep debt from last night - but for now just trying to keep my mind (gently) active whilst relaxing under blankies.
I'm so sorry to hear that your husband is having trouble with sleeping recently too - I really hope it's just a temporary glitch he's had and that he gets the best most wholesome sleep tonight and wakes feeling rested and recharged tomorrow
