Dear
Reader,
|
|
I’m having REM rebound. Having ditched the fizz for the annual sober start
to the year, my dreams are far more intense/lucid/real-feeling –
and sometimes full-on frightening – than usual. This is perfectly
normal, I’m pleased to hear, as alcohol impacts the duration of
REM sleep, so when it comes back, it does so with a vengeance,
dragging possible recent suppressed anxieties with it. They
should calm down within a couple of weeks. Despite this, throwing
off the shackles of
alcohol is a boon. I’ve scraped back a lot of time
– and a lot of energy, my eyes are less dragged down into
their sockets, and I can put money saved into little treats, like
a massage.
I love this New Year
reset – and it couldn’t have come soon enough.

|
Have a great week.

WHAT’S ON MY MIND THIS WEEK

Help Los Angeles
|
|
Our
earth is on red alert – literally. If the Los Angeles fires
(along with the multiple climate disasters besetting us all
– just look at our own floods), can’t bring the climate to the
top of the agenda, what can? If you want to do something immediately,
consider donating to California Community
Foundation’s Wildfire Relief Fund.

Are Saunas The New
Pubs?
|
|
The
more I read about the benefit of saunas, the more I wish I had better
access to one (if only I could afford one of these British made beauties
from Out of the Valley). But community saunas are
popping up all over London. A hot trend that I hope takes off.
