{Time and Fatigue [continued (4)]}[2nd February 1990]

[Redbook7:34-35][19900202:1500]{Time and Fatigue [continued (4)]}[2nd February 1990]

.1500**

What it* really amounts to is this:

I feel tired – half-dead with fatigue.

I feel tired because I get about 2/3rds to 3/4s of the sleep I need[.]

I am short of sleep because I go to bed too late.

I go to bed too late because I am aware that I haven’t spent enough time on the inner left side of things.

This is because out of the 18 or so waking hours each day, I only seem to spend 1 to 2 hours on my own personal work – and nearly all of that is taken up by right-side studying tasks which I have set myself. The only time ‘wasted’ is when I may spend another half hour or more watching TV after the News (I have no newspaper), by that time often too knackered to think of anything.

[W] works, if anything, harder and longer than I do. I generally help her put the children to bed in the evening (and dress them in the morning).

Where on Earth does all the time go?**

**This is a good example of what happens. Between **1500 and now – 1518 – I have been interrupted by the children 3 times, and spent, I suppose, 7 to 10 minutes, perhaps more, attending to them.

***I might add that last night I freely stayed up until 3am to watch ‘Village of the Damned’ (John Wyndham’s ‘The Midwich Cuckoos’) and its semi-sequel, a more intelligent story, ‘Children of the Damned’ (ridiculous title – but a film worth watching) <900204>  [See [Redbook7:38][19900204:2117]{The Inner Sense of Innocence}[4th February 1990]]
