>>>I've learned, over time, to take 5 to 15 minute naps. May have to do something with acupuncture - the first sessions I had back in nineties have taught my body how to relax and breathe deep, which somehow started happening during these naps. And I don't do that every day, either - sometimes a week passes without one, sometimes it gets as bad as three times in the same afternoon/evening. May have to do with my pressure getting low and me becoming sensitive to weather in the last decade or so. Rainy day does make me sleepy.

Or maybe they thought I was an old drunk.. But there were no tins of supa-strength white cider or Tennants Super-T around me. It was nice and sunny so I don't hink the pale or vampire-got theory holds water. They must have just thought I'd had a seizure or summat.
