These have been very low days. Sunday I didn't get up enough energy to go to the store. I didn't even start moving until 3pm. I opted to stay home and do some US Chess work and planned to go to the grocery store on Monday.
Sunday night I slept poorly.
Monday proved to also be a very sluggish day. It was challenging to get out to the store, though I did manage to. I didn't have enough energy to also take Jasmine to the vet and instead put in some work time.
I slept well on Monday night and awoke feeling decent, which was a relief since I had an appt to take Jasmine to the vet at 1:30. However, about 40 minutes after eating bread with my morning pills, I felt nauseated and had to lay down and rest until it was time to get ready to go to the vet. I was sluggish all day though I managed to get to and from the vet and to do some US Chess work. In the evening, I was a vegetable and dozed while watching videos. I got ready for bed early but read in bed until 11:45pm.
I had trouble with my hands going numb while driving.
I now suspect this excessive sleepiness (and the nausea) is an effect of the armodafinil. I'll give it some time to subside and if it doesn't will consider going off of it, which is a shame because I feel it was correcting my sleep to some degree, just not consistently.
I suspect at this point that armodafinil won't provide me with a substantial increase in work ability even if the side effects wear off. It has not given me the acuity to finish prepping my tax stuff. Essentially, the fatigue rules.
