In your eyes, they are sleepy, getting cold...

Ever since I moved into the house, I’ve been very tired and fatigued like all the time. I was kind of expecting this because 1) I was under such a high level of self-imposed stress for such a long time that I figured a deep post-stress crash was unavoidable, 2) I’m diabetic and fatigue is one of the symptoms of that and 3) I’m generally a rather lazy slug to begin with. However, it’s now been over a week since I’ve been there, and I’m still feeling that way.

I’m tired all throughout the day, in early evening, I start yawning almost constantly. I spend most of the night time on the couch not doing anything. There’s boxes to unload and books to get on shelves and yet, I’m not doing anything about them. I feel that I need to, but I just can’t gather up the motivation to do so.

I’ve having some issues sleeping. It still feels like I’m staying in a hotel and not my home. And after living in the apartment for 12 years, I guess it might take a bit of time for the house to feel like my home and not the apartment. But in addition to a new place, I’m also sleeping on the other side of the bed from where I used to. I heard people talk about not being able to sleep on the other side of the bed and chuckled to myself, thinking, “Oh, it can’t be THAT big of a deal.” But maybe it is. I mean, I can get to sleep, but I find myself waking up several times throughout the night. I can go back to sleep pretty quickly, but waking up 4 or 5 times a night doesn’t give me a whole lot of long extended sleep. And the sleep I go back into doesn’t seem really to be a very deep sleep.

So I’m basically attributing my tiredness to my lack of good sustained sleep. But I assume, the more nights I sleep at the house, the more comfortable my sleep will become. At least I’m really hoping that’s the case.
