    Gooooood morning DT. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I’ve characteristically started it off with a good old sleep-in. I am starting to realise that having the blinds completely down is good for falling asleep, but really bad for my overall circadian rhythm because that severe lack of morning sun in winter gets the rest of the day out of whack.

    Cleaning trip to aunt’s place got kyboshed at the last minute by their horrifically incompetent son (long story), but I am still going to drop by aunt’s temporary digs for the promised food 🤩

    I’m going to draw up a list of some things I’ve been putting off. And plot out what I might do with the grand plan to end my lease soon, dump everything in storage and go hang out with family in WA for a month or so. Some of it will be shaped by the chat I have with work on Monday - whether I can do some remote work while I’m away, timing, etc.

    On one hand, moving out is a pain and part of me wants to be lazy and doomscroll. OTOH, this is the perfect time to start afresh in many ways. A very big part of me wants CHANGE! Close that chapter properly!!!

      I sleep with the blinds open and a good sleeping mask on. I get the good deep sleep from being in the dark, and the natural light as soon as I wake up. It works for me.

        I really want this too. I always have trouble falling asleep if the room isn’t completely dark
