Nah, I wake up between 4:30 am and 5:30 am as per usual :(

Today I overslept despite setting two alarms, ended up waking up at 10:30.  :ph34r:

Update on secondary effects fromt he 2nd jab. I'm sleeping TONS more than usual since I got the 2nd Pfizer dose last Friday. Has this happened to anybody else?

I felt quite sleepy as well, but I'm chronically under-slept, so it was hard to guess if that was the shot or not.

Yes, definitely - to me, to people in my family, to various friends. Now, I feel like I'd shaken it off pretty well after 3 days, but when side effects were discussed everything was talked about in a "if this persists for more than a week." So I wouldn't be super concerned yet if I were you.

I'm also chronically under-slept, so I didn't care much for it the first day after a 3 hour nap in the afternoon. Then on the 2nd day I had another 2 hour nap on top of that... and plenty of sleep at night to boot. It was actually a bit hard to fall asleep on Sunday after so much sleep during the weekend.  :lol:

Yes. I think I slept like 14 hours each the two days after the second shot.

Got my third dose yesterday. So far only slight shoulder pain, as the other two times.

This really came out of nowhere. While I'm somewhat immunocompromised, I was not deemed a priority for the first vaccination wave. Whereas now I went before even the elderly (my parents are around 70 years old and have not been called).
Which means I got my third booster just 3 months after the second.
:hmm:

It seems that people who got the Janssen vaccine in Spain are going to be given a 2nd shot of a different one, as apparently they've built much less imunity over time than those that got the 2 shot vaccines.

Same. I got mine in September and way sooner than expected. But I think roll-out here has been a mess so I think I got the text earlier than I should have :huh:

My mother just received her booster this morning. My father will get it in the coming weeks, most probably.

My parents got their 3rd Pfizer shots on Friday. They were quite worried because despite my efforts I couldn't 100% convince them my father's heart issues at the start of this year were not related.

But it seems like they have had a pretty mild reaction to the booster shot overall, definitely way below of what they were worried about.

Now I can travel through the sea of Omicron that's going to be Europe during Christmas to visit them with much fewer worries.

Zanza

Booked my booster for end of December. I will likely get Moderna, completing my trifecta of AstraZeneca, BioNTech and then Moderna...

My mom was told by the nurse that delivered the booster to her that this one is like half a dose from the regular one, given that it's just a booster and not a full requiriment for vaccination, so side effects should be lower than from the regular doses.
