There’s one thing I noticed, as a kind of pattern. It becomes worse before it becomes better. I’d love to uncover that pattern and learn some life’s wisdom, but at this point that’s all I can say.
I got sick, and I spent the weekend with the kids at home all the time. Not very helpful for the recovery.
As a cherry on top, they did not sleep during the day, fell asleep very late at night. Hnat woke up during the night, so we could only get asleep at about 1 am. Then Nadia woke up even earlier than usually, at about 6 am. So the slumber was like 5 hours. A jackpot!
I was exhausted, but somehow my body managed to heal itself, as this Monday morning I still feel better than Saturday’s evening. Solomia got them to their kindergarden, and I fell asleep.
It was a full 1h30m session, and I woke up in a very bad shape, much worse than I was today and yesterday. Yet, 30 minutes later it got much better, and I feel even better than before the sleep. Which I expected. That’s why I went to sleep in the first place, to get better quicker.
I felt worse right after the sleep, but it was much better in a while. I think same goes for physical (and maybe mental too) exercises. For anything else probably. I wasn’t paying attention to this phaenomenon before, there could be more similar patterns.
I wonder if there’s some hidden wisdom in that.
