I've heard of this thing called sleep

There once was a time where I knew what deep, intense sleep was. One chilly Saturday evening, I went to bed, at first, around 11:30 pm. Then as I became wide awake, I got up and tinkered around on the computer. Went back to bed around 1:50. Wide awake. This time I decided to take some medication that SHOULD have drugged a horse. Still, after hours of tossing and turning, adjusting heat up and down, changing the speed of a fan, and then finally giving up at 5:30, I'm still wide awake. Dang. Now I'll feel the need to nap around 10:30 or so and sleep until 3:30 or 4:00 Which, of course, will make sleep difficult tonight. Hhhmmm... Since I'm alone and could get very crabby, I might just make myself stay up until it's bed time tonight. If I do that, I'll probably still be awake until around 3:00. Dilemmas...

oh you crack me up....so sorry.....wonder what is on your mind? i actually laid down at 9 pm....woke up about 11 to watch the rest of the patriots game.....went back to bed....woke up when nate came to bed about 1....woke up twice more to go to the bathroom and now i finally just got up if i were you, i would take a nap around 1030.....do you have to work tomorrow? what you doing for new years eve?

I can relate to that Liz! Here it is 4:45 am and I woke right up wide eyed and bushy tailed with the worst leg cramps in the world and here I sit at the computer waiting til the meds kick in so I can see about getting some sleep. I thought about making a pot of coffee, but have deside that I have nothing better to do today,except laundry and that can wait til later as I don't want to wake the neighbors up. I thinkin about see if the newspaper is out and go get one. But I just looked out the window and its snowing. So I changed my mind on that one. Hope you get some rest....
