Feeling Better: More Sleep?

Because of my home-based job, in the UK I had to get up at 06:30 every morning and start work. Despite this, I'd usually be up after midnight and the net effect of this was that I got about six hours sleep every night. It seemed like enough.

After arriving in Korea the jet-lag hit and although I went out every day, there was a lot of sleeping at odd hours of the day for a few days until my body adjusted. I still work to UK hours, which means I stay up now until 2am, but since there's no pressing reason to wake up early, until recently I've been getting out of bed around 10 o'clock. So in Korea, the amount of sleep I've got has increased, probably by at least an hour and maybe by as much as two.

I don't know if this has contributed to the improvement in my Meniere's symptoms, or whether it's any of the other reasons I've cited, or a combination thereof. But in the two years I've suffered from the illness, I've never gone from such a bad period to such a good one so distinctly, and it makes me feel like something changed, and there must be a cause.

Of course, it's possible it was just coincidence, and that even if I'd stayed in the UK I was destined to go through this good period anyway, though it seems unlikely.
