Oddness

More weird dreams this morning in between bouts of not sleeping because I was too warm or too cold or squished by cats (Oreo is a large cat who has to take up a lot of space while Margie is a small cat who thinks she needs to take up a lot of space). I've been overheating a lot during the night, waking up bathed in sweat and having soaked through the sheets. Perimenopause, maybe? Doesn't that kind of thing follow heredity lines, though? Both my grandmother and mother were definitely NOT in menopause at this stage in their lives; in fact, they were both pretty heavy with child. Or maybe the comforter is just too heavy for this mild winter and I'm getting too squished by overly-warm kitties and I'm being a bit of a hypochondriac. Blah.

I'm not logging the dreams this time because they are much too embarrassing because of the people involved, but part of one was mildly influenced by all the zombie fiction I've been reading recently. Good gracious, there's a lot of zombie fiction out there. I'm trying to balance that out with Jane Eyre, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Hours. I loved the movie version of the latter, but I'm finding the actual book to be soporific. Maybe that's what I should pull out when I can't sleep. I've also enjoyed two cinematic versions of Dorian Gray and am looking forward to reading the actual story and discover what was left out. As for Jane, I have no idea about that story beyond it being "gothic".

That's all I can sneak in for now. There are more sales forecasts to analyze and network designs to finalize. Good times. No, I really mean that this time.

Peri, baby. Nightsweats. Get used to them.

Or you can start taking AF Betafood and Magnesium Lactate (which help me)

It may not be perimenopause. I went through a period of heavy night sweats in college. If you're taking any sort of regular medication or suppliments, I'd suggest talking to the associated doctors.

It could be perimenopause, which can go on for years before actual menopause sets in. I had night sweats for several years prior to having Small Person, then I didn't have any for a few years, now I have them again. In fact, I have fewer problems with the night sweats now than I did prior to Small Person. Could also be meds and/or cats and/or warm hubby and/or warm comforter.
