I’m bored of hot flushes already

After a successful (and highly enjoyable) systems test last night, I went to bed a little earlier than usual because I have been getting very disturbed sleep (blah blah hot flushes blah blah – I am more than more of them now). I wasn’t actually tired. I seem to be going to bed wide awake and waking up tired. This is not usual for me, but maybe that’s what come of buggering with an important part of my endocrine system.

WebMD says:

This is probably why hot flashes seem worse at night. Your body temperature usually drops a bit at night so you can sleep. But, hormone changes that affect your body temperature may be more noticeable at night, especially if it wakes you up to a drenching, cold sweat.

Isn’t that an education?

As a result, I have again not managed to get to the gym this morning. I’ll instead go for a run after work (if its not raining too hard).

…

And now I’ve done my run. It was better than Sunday; same distance, but less walking and better time. My legs ache less than they did on Sunday, but I still felt a bit lightheaded. I really had to do that run because of broken my promise to go to the gym this morning: if I can’t keep promises to myself, I’ll really struggle to keep them with other people.
