Last night, I had a really good sleep, I started to feel kind of sleepy and I was laying in bed. And I actually fell asleep shortly after 930. And I took the six amino acid caps, as well as a Benadryl and slept through the whole night, didn't even wake up to go pee. And I slept about 10 hours. And I really needed that sleep after the weekend. So I'm feeling a lot better. And it feels good to have fallen asleep for the first time. Pretty naturally, after being completely off my segments, Saturday night was the first night off, and Sunday was the second. And both those nights were kind of difficult, and I had to take a second Benadryl. And I had a friend here, which made it a little bit more difficult. But back to my usual, cozy routine, and I just took one, Benadryl and fell asleep quite easily. It seems like there's a window of falling asleep between 830 to 1030, that it's good for me to just sort of stay calm and relaxed and ready to go to sleep when I'm ready. So I will be extra careful with that. And I made some notes yesterday after I finished editing my video about new elements to have dialogue about. And one of them is how I've talked myself out of the mental health system. And now I need to perhaps talk myself out of going back into it or talk to myself to stay out of it. So I could get complacent with the dialogue with myself and figure that I can just keep going and not really have to talk to myself now that I'm out of the system. But the thing is that the usual context of mental health is all around me. And the usual context of society that can actually be quite, I don't like the word triggering, but provoking for some of these other elements, because I find that I'm quite sensitive. So if I can at least have some conversation with myself almost every day in a way that it seems that I want to, then that could provide some of the energy to be able to keep my head above the clouds.
