I go through phases of sleeping fine and then waking up at 1 am for several nights in a row. Hopefully this phase passes quickly. 90% of it is work stress.

I hear that! When I was pregnant 20 years ago (tricky and scary pregnancy), my specialist suggested Benadryl. It helped.
@Helical_Code Benedryl is my next stop. My SO was in a motorcycle accident once and broke her cuboid bone in her foot (we didn't know it was broken yet). She couldn't go to the hospital because no insurance so we were making do with the pain meds we had on hand. To a colorblind person, the pink benedryl was not so different in color as the orangish/red motrin. I gave her four. She woke up every couple of hours to tell me how much her foot still hurt and then she passed right back out.
@Foxthorn
OMG. I admit to giggling, but only because I figure that the break has long since healed.
I'm so tempted to ask you nosy questions about your colorblindness (because I heard a talk about the genetics of colorblindness 25 years ago).
@Helical_Code Out of curiosity, I tested this morning to get an official classification and the results come out as Deutan
@Foxthorn
That's interesting! I tracked down a test and took it just to see what it was like. I figured it would be the bubbles on a round field, depicting integers. Some of them were pretty subtle indeed.
@Helical_Code Digital applications of the test are tricky because monitor calibration comes into play. I find the numbers to be the hardest because I can often see the general shape of the number but not the details (1 vs 7 vs 2, 3 vs 8 vs 6 vs 9, 5 vs 6, etc.). My eye doctor gives me the test they use on kids with shapes. I do a little better with that one. She checks me every visit...I'm not sure why. Maybe to make sure it isn't getting worse since it's possible that it's not genetic?
