The difference talking to mentor once a week makes.
I've kept track of sleep, rest, general wellbeing and dissertation work time for a week.
I can see I rested an average of 82min/day (deep rest) and slept 8h. However, on the days I worked I rested less and slept less than average (probably when I need it most!) So Tuesday evening, Wednesday evening and Thursday I felt not so great.
So the next step is to rest the average amount every day and see how I feel.

Wow, you know a nidra yoga session was good when you're happy to keep resting for 14 minutes afterwards.

Maybe being forced to learn to rest my brain and be okay with quiet is ultimately a bright side of this long covid. I stopped napping at three years old and have been a very on the go person at times and other times tired and slower but still not resting. The modern world is loud and stimulating so it's rebellious really to seek out quiet and rest.

I definitely feel like I have a mild cold so I can't tell if yesterday's very short workout triggered any pem or not. I feel heavy but so far no worse than yesterday.

It took me seven hours to do two hours of dissertation work, two hours of deep rest and lunch. The rest of the time was transitioning between tasks, getting drinks, phone time and who knows.

I feel pretty bad and still need rest. Maybe I have a cold, maybe I should increase my daily nicotine amount.

I've tried for ages to record useful things for fatigue management and not kept it up. But now I've been recording a few things in a paper diary: sleep length, rest length, dissertation time, how I felt generally and things done that day. So far it is helping me to notice patterns and try to see if things are improving or deteriorating more than other methods.
Hopefully I sleep better tonight as I've been averaging 20 minutes less this week.
