Sleep is hard
May. 30th, 2013 11:00 amSo I spent most of yesterday, apart from a break to go to agora, working on my paper. And then last night I couldn't get to sleep.
I don't know why, really. Maybe I didn't walk far enough. Maybe I drank too much coke. End result: I fell asleep after four, slept through my alarm, and crawled out of bed and into the shower barely before noon.
That put paid to my plans to go down to the École Francaise. It also puts paid to any notion I had of going to any of the museums or enclosed sites, since they all close at three - bar, as far as I know, the acropolis and the Acropolis Museum.
I feel pretty cruddy right now. I expect that's lack of sleep. I'm also eating less, I think, than I was at home - partly because I'm worried about making my money last, and partly because the easiest quick food is from the bakery and I don't want to be eating too much cheese pastry all at once.
It's 25C with 60% humidity, says the weather site. Add an extra degree for central Athens. I should, I suppose, be kind to myself for a few days until I adjust, although I almost wish it was 30+ already, so I could have an excuse for feeling cruddy.
I should try and go out for a proper walk this evening, though. If I do, I can have yoghurt on Adrianou again.
