Awake. 5.36am. Sigh. Can't complain as I've had a reasonable string of decent nights, I think I probably came off the pregabalin slightly too quick and should have had my last small dose at bedtime instead of the middle of the day. Live and learn. Also I ate some absolute garbage last night including a pack of chocolate covered biscuit bars, it kind of put itself into my shopping basket. At least I only bought one, used to be the salted caramel pack AND the mint AND the Orange AND maybe another salted caramel 🤭 Only good thing is they've gotten smaller since the last time I bought the brand, at this rate they will be like those miniatures you get in gift packs 😲 I'm sure I've put weight on from not running for a week.
Positive to take away - I got 4-5 hours sleep, to add to the sleeps I got all week, and it's still better than the mega insomnia from last week. And none of that excruciating anxiety/frazzled feeling. Just knew I was not going back to sleep, especially with all the confused signals running around my body - bit of bloating/discomfort from eating crap, pain signals from the injury in my side, and for some reason odd pains in one leg (but hey guess what peripheral neuropathy is another delightful benzo withdrawal symptom and also guess what pregabalin dampens down nerve signals and I just came off it, so I'll wait and see before jumping to conclusions I've got some terrible condition). Just don't like these early wake ups as it's not a productive wake up, it's more a grin and bear it wake up. Oh well. Pour more coffee and see what internet wonders there are to pass the time.
