Man, 34, seeks holiday...

I’m utterly exhausted and I have no idea why. There’s a lot of weird stuff going on at work at the moment that might be playing on my mind, but it’s not as if it’s affecting my sleep. If anything, I’m spending more time in bed than I have done for years. It gets to about 8.45pm and I’m starting to drift off. And I’m waking up later than I used to too.

Am I dying???

I imagine it’s something to do with the lighter evenings. We are nothing but animals, after all, and our bodies are naturally programmed to respond to certain atmospheric occurrences in certain ways. Days are longer now and there’s more time to do stuff, maybe my circadian biology is adjusting my bodyclock accordingly. But then – other animals are coming out of hibernation now and being more active, so shouldn’t that make me LESS tired?

I am, so often, confused….

Might be a hay fever thing I suppose. Apparently the tree pollen – which usually ramps up its release from late-Feb onwards – held off for six weeks coz of the cold and then all exploded into the air last fortnight. No end of customers have had streaming noses and itchy eyes, many of them having never suffered before. Maybe that’s it. I’ll take a strip of Clarityn in the morning and see if that makes me feel better.

Wait – is Clarityn a non-drowsy one???
