sleeplog - 1o2925

Very solid night's sleep, and was able to return to sleep without any trouble.  So 5+ hours straight, plus an extra 1.5.  Woke feeling refreshed.  Not how it's been, at all.

Know I dreamt, but can't remember specifics.  Mainly senses of fabric texture & lighting; I know the dreams involved daylight.  Light[ing] is a significant aspect of my dreamlife.  So it's a good sign that I was dreaming about something lit by the sun.

On the "psychedelic" front, yesterday noticed further incidences of the (only slightly stunning, disorienting) aforementioned Clarity.  Art & problemsolving on art was easier.  Chores & tasks flew past without the standard stumbles.  The only point at which I'd say there was that pseudo-psychedelic glimmer was, after Sig returned home?  I noticed having subtle difficulties with visual focus.  Sig would be at an average distance from me and my glasses seemed to hamper my ability to home in; so I ditched them for a bit.  There was a distinct sharpness to my vision for a solid hour, to the extent that my bifocals were simply in the way.

Normally I can't see across the fucking room.

Normally, since the accident.  My vision had been degrading subtly before the skull fracture; afterwards glasses became a necessity.  I'm not saying the lion's mane has "cured" anything, but it does seem to have an effect on my optic nerves.  Yesterday was the first day of taking two cups of tea.  So we'll see what-if-anything happens today.  This could all be purely placebo / delusion.

Reading seemed to be easier, as well.  Blew through 130 pages of Christopher Zeischegg's 'The Magician' in an afternoon.  I've always been able to read fast-ish, but processing & retaining information has been dodgy, and sometimes it can be a foot-dragging chore to Make Myself read, if I'm not in the mindset.

Thus far the medicine seems to be an asset.  Of course nothing is certain or diagnosable straightaway; this stuff could take two weeks to have an actual, cumulative effect.  But I'm paying careful attention, and there's *something* going on, of the positive variety.  So roll on, tomorrow!
