apparently my body stopped trying to do the "circadian rhythm" thing completely.
@slooploon is that like salsa rythmns
@AndyC no that's the body's "biological clock" that makes people want to sleep & wake up at roughly the same times every day in a ca 24-hour pattern
@slooploon fight the body clock power....random power naps for all
@AndyC yeah it's okay, i just need people to know this is a serious thing for me, not just an inconvenience
@slooploon I hear ya. have you found a way round it
@AndyC melatonin supplements used to work, but no more.
@slooploon ooosh anything non chemical? I usually use TED talks on loop
@AndyC haha no anything distracting will just keep me awake indefinitely. also, i have severe chronic pain so "chemical" things are what i live on
@slooploon I have a friend down in florida who takes prescribed 60mg of morphine....that's gotta help
@AndyC sounds good, unfortunately i have a generalized opioid intolerance, which means the "best" painkiller i can take is ibuprofen, which.. doesnt' actually do much 🙃 🙃 🙃
@slooploon theres always the mallet to the head....I saw it on this cartoon once and feel like I must emulate it
@AndyC if that would work, i know a great many people who would happily hit themselves on the head every night
@slooploon it has to be self administered....I hear the law makers get kind of shouty if you do it to someone else
@AndyC hahaha yeah
@AndyC if you do it to yourself you'll only be forcefully hospitalized 🙃 🙃
@slooploon better access to meds. ...it's a win win
@AndyC that's really not true
@slooploon I know....how you feeling?
@AndyC accomplished. very good adulting today. and you?
@slooploon proud of you....I also adulted to a satisfactory degree....school run, employment, tidying, dinner prep and now beers
@AndyC wow. i brought away 1 package and bought some food. now i'm in pain and exhausted but it was worth it. i really hate my wheelchair, it's the most uncomfortable thing ever
@slooploon OK....please excuse my insensitivity, I always work a bit off centre. i appreciate for many people life can be a shit sandwich and the last thing you need is crappy dressing.
