Sleeping better again

While looking for work in the US I had been sleeping more poorly, thinking about how to improve a cover letter, what I would do in the face of some offer or other, whatever. It became fairly normal for me to be up and about by 6am. Now that I have accepted an offer, passed the background check, turned down the other offers, withdrawn the other pending applications, I find that I am sleeping rather better, often more than eight hours per night.

Reading non-fiction

I had mentioned recent difficulty in reading non-fiction, viz. that it sends me to sleep. This evening I tried reading some non-fiction, part of Michael Greger's How Not to Diet, and found myself quite able to. Perhaps my newfound ability to get a good night's sleep has restored my ability to read books more challenging than popular novels.
