Crappy Dentist

I had to go to the dentist yesterday and while he wasn’t ‘crappy’ in his work, the whole experience was. I don’t know why I have so many problems with my teeth. I brush twice a day, lately it’s been 3 times a day. I floss at least once per day. I don’t see what else I can do to take care of my teeth.

Ok, admittedly I have a fairly high sugar diet which is probably a contributing factor to my many fillings and my soon to be 3rd root canal/crown. I don’t think that’s the only reason though. My father has many fillings and crowns to and he doesn’t eat much sugar. I have no doubt a lot of my problems are heredity. Thanks Dad!

So after my little visit to the dentist last night for a fitting for a crown, I was left with just the stub of a tooth. Yuck. I can’t believe it’s come to this. I hope this guy knows what he is doing. I would much rather have gone to my regular dentist. This guy does come recommended by someone in the know so I guess it’ll be fine.

Whatever he did it left me bleeding for a few hours and when the anesthetic wore off I was left in a little pain. That meant I barely slept last night and in the end I got up early, no point in lying in pain when I can be surfing the net in pain.

I am feeling slightly better now and thankfully in less than a week it’ll be all over.

Sleep and Exercise Conclusion

After going to the gym 4 or 5 times a week for 2 months, I can now conclude that it has definitely helped me to sleep better. As I’ve gotten fitter, I’ve been less tired after the gym, obviously, but have still been tired enough to fall asleep fairly quickly at night.  I have no doubt I am sleeping better due to my increased level of aerobic activity.

However, this doesn’t mean I am getting as much sleep as I should. I still don’t go to bed until 1am at the earliest. I could probably sleep before midnight but I like to play on the internet for a while or do a little late night blogging before bed. It’s working out ok though. Once I’m in bed I fall asleep within half an hour.

The biggest problem for me is still getting up early in the morning. My husband is up before 7am to get ready for work. He leaves at quarter to eight and I’m still in bed. My goal is to get up with him and start work straight away. I’m just too tired to do so but I’m going to have to start forcing myself.

With Christmas coming I have a lot of work to do on my websites so I need to start sleeping less and working more.
