Day 31 – Changing the Variables…

Day 31 – Changing the Variables…

Whenever I encounter an issue in life, I backtrack over the variables that might be the cause.

I make a mental list of items that may have changed slightly or dramatically over the period of the issue’s start-point, then alter them back to default one by one to see where the cause of the problem originated—just like GCSE Science Coursework…

I’ve been so thankful of my sleep patterns in the last five years, aware that just receiving a peaceful night’s sleep is a gift in a stressed out, anxiety ridden culture.

I‘m also appreciative because years ago my sleep used to produce some of the worst night terrors beyond imagination; to see those….things disappear in 2015 was a blessing.

But recently, I don’t understand what has happened…

In the last few days, I’ve woken at around 3:00 – 3:30am and then again at 5:00 – 5:30am every night for no apparent reason. I think I’m on six consecutive nights now…

Having gone through several changes in the variables already to find the root of the problem, I tried my final attribute alteration two nights ago—I thought it was perhaps my fitness-watch buzzing me as I accidentally touched it while sleeping.

This was my remaining effort. And it didn’t work.

I don’t know the precise cause for this sudden interruption in my rest. I simply know it’s out of my control as it’s likely a subconscious challenger…
