2025年5月2日（金）、午前3時ごろに起きた。一日中家にいた。
伊豆大島から本州に戻ってきて以来、眠ってばかりだ。昨日も今日も、半日以上を寝て過ごした。
この異常な眠気は、酔い止め薬の副作用だと思う。伊豆大島を旅行した際、本州に戻る船のなかで気分が若干悪くなり、薬を飲んだ。
もしまた伊豆大島に行くことがあるなら、別のルートを選びたい。例えば、調布発の飛行機という手がある。船に乗るとしても、熱海と伊豆大島を結ぶ短い航路のほうがよいだろう。甲板がある船も選択肢の1つだ。風に当たることができるので、酔いを和らげてくれると思う。
On Friday, May 2nd, 2025, I got up at 3:00 a.m. and stayed in all day.
Ever since I returned to mainland Japan from Izu Oshima Island, I haven’t been able to stop sleeping. I slept for more than half the day both yesterday and today.
I believe this unusual drowsiness was caused by the motion sickness medicine I took on the ferry from the island to the mainland. It’s known that this type of medication tends to make people sleepy. While I was on the ship, I began to feel slightly ill and took the medicine to keep my condition from getting worse.
If I were to visit the island again, I would choose a different route, such as by airplane. If I had to take a ferry, I should choose a shorter route, like the one between the island and Atami in Shizuoka, or a different type of ferry where I could relax on the deck and let the wind ease my seasickness.
