Aspirin!!!

I almost forgot! One of my secrets for handling fatigue has been taking simple aspirin. Usually what causes my misery is some kind of feeling which intensifies to become somewhat "painful". I can feel extremely tired and drowsy, and that doesn't hurt much. But it is the effort to keep going that can cause a wide variety of extremely uncomfortable feelings. A second source is just laying down trying to sleep. Sometimes I cannot find the right position, or little things bug me, or I can't relax. Aspirin has helped me in the past.

I do not use drugs unless I absolutely need them. In this experiment every once in a while I will reach an extreme, and that is where I'll take a couple bayer, or walmart, or walgreens, aspirin tablets. Lack of sleep is very bad for the heart, 2 afternoon naps a week can reduce risk by as much as 50%, and aspirin helps the heart (by thinning the blood and reducing clotting) so there must be a connection between what aspirin does and what sleep does.

So I just took 2 about 1/2 an hour ago, and I now feel a surge, more than a little one, in my energy. I will be careful not to get hooked on them, and I'll try to figure out how it actually affects my sleep, which I need to do now according to the time. There may be some research out there on this already.

Later and later.
