Dumb dumb dumb!

I can't for the life of me figure out where my brain goes at night. 

I have a tendency (we were discussing this on another thread recently, so I know I'm not alone here!) to wake up at night, when I should be settling down for sleep.  Tonight I got into a cleaning jag at 9:45 - loaded the dishwasher, did some pans by hand, wiped the counters and stove, then decided to clean the coffeemaker with vinegar (which happens about once every 2 years, so of course it had to be tonight) - so I'm boppin' around, happy as a clam, when I notice I've been doing this for over an hour.

My bad!  I know I can't do so much without taking breaks, especially late at night.  Don't feel much yet but some dull aches, but I sure will tomorrow.  It's like I don't get the same signals from my body to back off that I do during the day.

  How many of us do this, I wonder?

I tend do the same thing and by the next afternoon Im exhausted and hurting beyond words and wondering why. I love to clean and can never clean just ONE thing and take a break. Noooooooooo its apparently way more fun to clean like a maniac and then whine for 2 days that I cant move.

UGH Ya gotta love chronic pain.

Doing exercise gives you more energy so, if you do things like this at night, I sure don't know how you ever fall asleep.  This is one of the reasons I exercise first thing in the morning.  It loosens me up and then I can get some stuff done the next hour or two.  I slow down in the afternoon and vegetate in the evening.  This way, I usually am asleep 15 minutes after my head hits the pillow. 

 

Also, I find that if I do overdo in the morning, I can "shake" many of the muscle pains out before the end of the day.  I swear, moving really helps me a lot.

 

I hope you are doing fine today, Debbie.

Actually, I don't have trouble falling asleep because I take Klonopin....

Today I was really feeling no more pain than normal, and did my mallwalking just fine, but bowels were a tad off. By now, it's more than a tad...guess it'll be the good ol' applesauce - dry toast - jello for dinner. I don't feel like I have a bug, and I haven't eaten anything unusual.

This happens sometimes, and my doctor says, "I know....we don't know why." I personally believe that overdoing makes my body release something that upsets my delicate little bowels. Never a dull moment!!

I have the same problem, and it doesn't help that I'm already a known 'night-owl'....grrr. Glad to see that I can relate to some of my fellow Fibromytes though ^_^
