It's nearly 4pm and I've not yet had a significant drowsy period in the day, despite being awake since about 8am. I'm fairly impressed but I have started to take serious action to ensure that the "attacks" are less frequent and not as damaging (emotionally and mentally).
Today might not be the best day to say I'm improving because I have slept a good 9 hours and I feel it may actually have been more. Nevertheless, I think I'm going to start drinking more water in a day because I usually drink about 0-2 glasses per day. I've had 2 glasses today, one was water another was a herbal tea, which I think still counts. Also, I've started taking some iron tablets because I know I'm slightly deficient. That's supposed to boost your energy a little, right? And, last but not least, I'm going to try to increase my fruit intake from next to zero to something more like a real quantity so that I'm staying hydrated and I've got sugars and energy in me from a healthy source. It will balance out any heavier carbs and dairy products I've been eating. I had a kiwi today, because they were on offer :).
It's day 14 of Lent and I've not yet succumbed to a nap (alhamdulillah!). However, I came to realise that Lent has 46 days, with 6 days "off" as breaks (usually the Sunday), but I've not yet decided if I want to skip days in case it does make it harder to get back into the swing of staying awake...
