oh yeah....

Last night I got 8 hours sleep for the first time since Thursday or Friday. W00t.

Things that helped:
  • Adjusting to leaving the windows open and the bedroom fans on. This makes the bedroom cooler, but means getting used to more noise and ...
  • Adjusting to the sleep mask. This is to keep the sunlight from the (open for airflow) windows from waking me at 5 or 6AM.
  • A lukewarm or cool shower or bath before bed lowers my body temp and helps me over the "too hot to sleep" factor.
  • Keeping in mind that yes, upstairs is a little bit warmer than downstairs, so go up a bit earlier and plan to just have some acclimation time.
It probably also helps that it is getting cooler too :)
