Now that I am back on Lybalvi, I do not need naps and can get enough sleep at night (albeit fragmented). It feels amazing! For the first time since August 2022, I can plan my time and count on being energetic for an entire day. So, I went to the gym in the morning, before my doctor's appointment. I did 22 minutes on the upright stationary bike, my first time on that ergometer since July 2024 (later, I could only do the easier recumbent bike). Then, I did 12 minutes on the rowing machine. I wore the Orangetheory fitness wrist heart rate monitor during both fitness sessions, and the Orangetheory app showed a mixture of Blue and Green minutes. Max HR = 128 during both sessions.

Later in the day, I walked in my neighborhood, wearing a weighted backpack. I forgot to put on the HR wrist monitor.

So far, almost 8 miles covered today, but I might still go for a short walk before bedtime.

Tomorrow, I will go to Orangetheory at 10:45 AM.

In recent months, there have been a couple of occasions when I booked that 10:45 AM Sunday class but forfeited the class due to sleeping all morning after not being able to sleep at night, or sleeping some at night, but not getting enough sleep. Such simple pleasures as the ability to go to the class I booked feel like gifts and blessings after more than 2 years of hypersomnia.
