Proud of you for doing the hard thing and taking the rest. I had a brief run of COVID and the most significant symptom was fatigue - I haven’t slept so much in ages but I kept trying to fight through it, feeling guilty about it.

There are times when I desperately need to sleep and those always seem to be the times when it is most difficult, sometimes impossible. I may take a page from your book and try sone of these!

I'm so glad you're feeling better! I've been trying to get more sleep lately, which honestly the change in sunlight has helped: my body now expects to turn off earlier than when it's, say, midsummer, and the world calls out at 8PM.

Hugs.

Lots of sympathy about the eendometriosis.

I have similar self imposed fights with naps which I need most afternoons and are best if I actually lie down and close my eyes. Do I do this? Not often.

"Self imposed fights with naps": I love that phrase (although not what it actually is!). The image of us arguing with naps like they're a pesky cat who won't stop demanding breakfast—even though we fed it five minutes ago.
