RC Harris Water Treatment Plant, Toronto. December 2021.
I’ve been having some sleep issues of late, which is fun because I recently got to spend the night at a sleep clinic all wired up and monitored with microphones and night vision cameras while trying to catch some zzzs in a ridiculously uncomfortable bed. Actually, that was the very opposite of fun!
Long story short, I’ve been given a strict sleep hygiene programme to follow, part of which involves avoiding sleep-ins and getting at least 30 minutes of natural light within two hours of waking up.
So, every day I now go for an early morning walk along the beach and I usually take my camera along for the ride. It was a pain in the butt at first as I’m not really a morning person, but I kind of enjoy it now, even when it’s snowing or as cold as -20C! I’m also starting to feel some sense of kinship with all the early-morning dog walkers and joggers I frequently encounter 🤣
Anyway, expect lots of sunrise pictures of Balmy Beach and Lake Ontario 🌅😁
Sorry about your sleep issues but at least you’ve got a plan and more opportunities for amazing sunrises like this!
Thanks! Every cloud and all that jazz…
Not sleeping well is pants. Hope the regime works!
Cheers! I’m just happy that they’ve ruled out sleep apnoea. I really didn’t fancy having to use a CPAP machine. But yeah, hopefully the regime will help.
