Who is better in the morning regarding being on the computer and who finds it more difficult later on.

[sylvi]

Morning all,well here i am at 5 am in the morning typing away. I know this might sound silly,but i am finding that the best time for me on the laptop is in the morning. As the day wears on i find it difficult to answer anything on here and i get the words all wrong as well and have to keep deleting things. Now i love being on my laptop as my world is on here,meaning since i stopped working six years ago i speak to more people on here than any frinds i had when i was at work. I have met over the years(though not always in person) some wonderful people and they have taught me a lot. I am finding as the day wears on i can't always be bothered with the computer as i am so damn tired yet i don't seem to find the energy for it come the afternoon. I have a tablet which i usually take upstairs with me as i am in bed early and i am on that,but i have noticed just laterly i haven't been taking it upstairs either and i have been switching my laptop off earlier than i usually do. I hope this is not another sign of my chronic illnesses taking over.(Mouthful of tea) Now where was i oh yes being tired, I find i get slower and slower as the day goes on and my fingers hurt more as well,please tell me i am not alone in this feeling. I am still keeping up with my thingys that i spoke about last week. Mind you yesterday hubby was geumpy because he wasn't feeling well and it blew out of all control resulting in me sobbing my heart out and refusing to go shopping with him. It is all sorted now and things are peaceful again (even good marriages like mine have hiccups) He is a lovely man,but when he gets worried about his health he gets very grumpy bless him,but it cleared the air if nothing else.

I think i had better close this post down as i am rambling now, so love and hugs to you all. xxxxx

PS, this is after i had done some gardening.

Hi Sylvi - good morning to you too. I am exactly the same, do my best work from early morning (say 3ish) till 10. Then zap - cant even think straight. Glad to hear you are still "doing your thingy". I am sick of moaning too. My hubby is just the same, I think it boils down to he cannot do a damned thing to help me and he still wants to be the provider and protector. So he gets frustrated and angry and who is there to take this out on - only me. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

I've got my CT with contrast today - not looking forward to it but it will all be over this time tomorrow. First NHS rhumy appt on Friday.

Going to try and make some scones in a few mins before the "zap" hits.

Take care. Babs x

Babs hubby gets very frustrated with himself because of his health,it doesn't matter how many times he has been told it isn't his heart he still thinks it is his heart causing his pains in his chest when it is his hiatus hernia. The wind gets trapped in his chest,bless him. I still love the grumpy bugger though. He is also the best hubby i can have.

Like you i do my best work in the mornings and i am finding that i am switching off my laptop earlier now.

I hope your ct scan goes well for you darling and i hope for a good outcome for you.xxxx

It's probably a good thing that you are switching your laptop off earlier Sylvi. All electronic devices can over stimulate and worsen insomnia so people who suffer from inability to go to sleep or stay asleep are advised to abandon electronic devices in favour of a book with a milky drink and a warm bath or shower an hour or two before bedtime.

I am like you and find my brain most succinct and often my body least stiff wheh I am awake in the early hours. I know people with RA are meant to struggle with morning stiffness most and what I find presently is that I struggle much more after a good night than a bad night. My own theory is that I toss around a lot the through the night keeping everything moving so stiffness not such an issue. When I have had a still night of deep sleep I often feel worse first thing - sometimes most of the day because my body has been so still I've stiffened up overnight. Maybe nothing to do with anything but this is just what my own brain and instincts tell me. X

All relationships have hiccups, I agree, and when there's stress hiccups are more likely to turn into LOUD hiccups. I am much the same as you, I'm usually awake at 5 or 6 am, and that's my clearest brain-time, so that's when I look at things here. Sometime after lunch I usually run out of steam and just don't bother with the computer much. I'm even finding it work to read at night- I seem to be re-reading all my favourites rather than anything new.

Beautiful picture - my back yard looks more like a jungle than anything else!
