A gentle week, mostly.

Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different.

Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about it.

The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind.

Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler.

Resting now, on purpose.

This is why I read the boring weeks. Thank you for the boring weeks.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.

Would you be willing to say more about how you raised it? I have an appointment on the 14th and I keep losing my nerve.
