I went to bed right at midnight last night, after having 300ml of sake. The night before I'd had 400ml so this is on track to taper things down. I had no trouble sleeping, woke up at 3AM to use the bathroom, then woke up at 7 and semi-slept until 8:15 which is fine.
I've noticed the last day or so I'm feeling a lot more steady, and my sleep is getting back to normal. My temperature when I got up was 97.1 After eating a bit and being more awake I measured it again and got 97.7. When I was feeling fatigued it must have been down in the 96's. It's hard to find much about this insidious effect of alcohol, of course the US economy is about half alcohol and while they can't ignore the most severe effects they really want everyone to just keep drinking. That's why "rehab" programs have a 95% failure rate and I suspect the other 5% are those they were able to get addicted to things like Xanax.
I'm just glad that now that it's been a few days and my sleep is normalizing, I notice that I'm also free of a layer or two of despair.
Although it's supposedly my day off, I packed a biggish power supply (40 lbs) and took it up to FedEx. The streets were really nice and sunny and peaceful, but the shopping center FedEx is in was a zoo.
After I came back and settled down a bit, I made a miso soup with tofu noodles. I'd been looking for tofu sheet or "skin" to slice into noodles, but here they were all done. There's no way I was going to eat shirataki noodles, but somehow I learned about tofu noodles and it came out pretty well.
