The first sentence I saw when I woke and picked up my phone was "Your friendly reminder! You've still got some time remaining." That was encouraging!
I had woken up. It was pitch black. I was looking upwards. On the ceiling (although at that moment I didn't actually know it was the ceiling) was a projection of the screen of my phone with the time on it: 16:56.
If I was in bed and had just woken up at 16:56 there was something seriously wrong. Assuming I was in bed I asked Alexa to switch on the bedside light. As the light went on in an adjacent room (I live in a bungalow) I realised that I was sitting in a recliner chair in the lounge/living room. I have not been well and after lunch decided to have a rest. There I had been sitting or reclining and, according to my Fitbit app, I had been absolutely solidly asleep for the previous 2h 20 mins. In fact I'd been in the chair for the best part of the afternoon.
"Your friendly reminder! You've still got some time remaining." which cheered me up no end was in fact an email letting me know that I could still get a delivery for Christmas from "Boots" a pharmacy which probably makes more money on perfume at well over £100 a bottle. That was a huge shock to me when I recently went in to buy a friend some perfume for Christmas.
