Oops, I did it again

At my appointment with Dr. M on Thursday, I told him about my middle of the night shower.  He didn't seem too concerned, and thinks it's related to stress.  And let me tell you, these MRI appointments bring me stress to no end.  Until I get good results and can relax, that is.

So it blew my mind when that night, Thursday night, the day of my MRI, I showered again in the middle of the night.  Got up, showered, put on lotion, moisturized my face, and wandered back out of the bathroom.  Only then did I subtly decide I could go back to bed, at 11:45pm.  UGH.  I end up really tired in the morning, and lack of sleep usually gives me a headache (and its only cure is more sleep, or more cowbell).

I've got a midnight shower disorder, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

I had figured with the positive MRI results and the stress melting out of my body, I wouldn't do a middle of the night shower again.  It bummed me out, and makes me feel like a total crazy person.  But I've slept pretty much through the night the last couple of nights, so that makes me feel good.  Isn't that silly?  To feel accomplished because you didn't take a crazy person shower in the middle of the night?!?!  Welp, I'll take it!

Next step: Putting a sign on my bathroom mirror that says "If it isn't 6:00, go back to bed."  Let's see if that works!
