I had to force myself to stay awake through the day yesterday and today. Yesterday I started falling asleep maybe, only to have a giant hypnic jerk bounce me awake and make me feel dizzy. Dizziness apparently is one sign of needing more sleep. Drinking lots of cold water at work, 4-5 glasses a day, since cold water is supposed to be invigorating like coffee.
Got through the meeting last week without falling asleep. I had a coffee drink from McDonalds beforehand so I had some caffeine. Caffeine makes me have to use the bathroom, a lot. I had to get up and go to the bathroom a number of times. I was also extra nervous when it was my turn to present for 5-10 minutes. Shaking. Not because I was nervous being in front of people, but just not wanting to fall asleep while up there, and so tired.
Despite being very tired, I mowed the lawn today after work, and then went and got in a good 30 minutes of ping pong with plenty of sweat. Drew someone better than me today, like last week, so I had to work hard to keep up. I keep telling myself the exercise is good for me and I need to do it, despite not being enthusiastic about it. At least when I'm in the middle of it I do have some enthusiasm, but I tire quickly.
