The drip filter coffee machines are popular here and that is what I was using, but ended up drinking a lot of coffee. We use it now when we have guests only :)
I sleep well enough, when I sleep - but I don't feel refreshed since the stroke. I think it has something to do with me barely dreaming since. I have always regarded dreaming as a "cleaning" function of some kind, but I don't get it often now. Diet, illness, and stress of course have a big effect on sleep quality too.
I also don't I ow what to think of therapy or life coaching. I have neither the finances nor the physical proximity to try either,
Me too! We are over therapized these days to the extreme. Having said that, I am interested in how the brain works, and having conversations with people (paid for by my ex-employer still for a bit) has been interesting. Nothing earth shattering, but remember that most people don't reflect much at all, so it can help many people. The problem is that many now rely on therapy to solve their issues, like a panadol for a headache.
