Remedied

Without a doubt now I can say that my sleep problems are cured. For the first time in my life recollectible life, I've gone an entire week and had seven hours of blissfully undisturbed slumber per night. I've also gone to sleep and awakened at the same time.

I did it by regulating the light I got during the day, having the lamps on full only in the mid-day and turning them down after dusk. I take 9 mg of Melatonin. That by the way is triple the recommended dose to hours before I go to bed. When I lie down I go right out.

I make out very detailed schedules for my day. The writing and reading I get those in late morning/ early afternoon. Perhaps this indicates I've had Asperger's all along but just could never get into a routine, and therefore that kept me anxious and stressed.

So, with this you think I'm getting a lot of writing done? No, I'm not. And that's a paradox. I'm going through my novel draft like a school bus stuck in mud. But I should know within in month whether this new regimen is conducive to more and better writing. Whether I do or not, writing has led me to completely alter my whole life. It's been worth it.
