I took a long time to fall asleep last night. I wonder if it was because I exercised and used sauna and steam room too close to bedtime (I do not have other time slots for them). But then I had almost an hour of deep sleep which for me is high, and it happened over more periods of deep sleep than usually is the case. Maybe heat is having a positive effect?

today was my day skipping the amphetamine. This morning I woke up at 9:28AM, got up at about 9:40 AM and thought that I would not need a nap. I was wrong. I need a nap although not desperately. So I will take a nap now. I spent a productive morning and early afternoon.

I also picked up amphetamine (the brand name of this formulation is Dexedrine) extended release and will start on it tomorrow when I first wake up. I have a full day of meetings and a visit to my dermatologist tomorrow, followed by workouts in the evening, so I will need all the help I can get.

I am neither depressed nor hypomanic, which is a good sign.
