Do You Like Sleeping?

I have been taking NyQuil and Sleep Aid so I am okay, 5-7 hours of sleep each night. I have to start weaning myself off the med, this is not sustainable.

Do I like sleeping. Yes... But why was I up at 4:30 am on a Sunday....

Nothing has changed for me with John away. To bed around midnight and up around 4:30 to 5.

I have a tendency to fall asleep whatever the situation.

My ex was like that.

He once fell asleep getting into bed. He was sitting up in bed leaning forward with the quilt in his hands. At first I thought he was messing about.

Actually, if he hadn't slept in the evenings, my divorce would probably have come sooner. He often crashed out on the couch about 8-9pm. 

I have the whole bed to myself and can stretch out but that doesn't seem to help. I just miss him being next to me and I feel lonely. It is affecting my sleep for sure.

I got up too early today, so ended up having a three hour nap at 9am.

Never mind.

I couldn't stay asleep this morning: so I got up and ate my breakfast.

It is too sunny to sleep.

I dont like warm weather but the early sunlight and the songs of birds and frogs in summer make we want to be up and out.. I often lean out of the window at 4am just enjoying the peace..

I woke at 4:45 this morning. Lay there for 45 minutes wondering if I should get up, so I did.

It is great, all this extra day. I did the shopping, banking, and collected a parcel, and was home before 10, and that's me taking a very relaxed attitude.

Go on, Karen, what's your secret for these hours of extra life every day?

A stable routine is a good idea. When you get a job in an office you wont be able to sleep just when you want so it's good to get into the habit now.

It IS good to get back into the habit of getting up in the morning.

Good for you.

I was 'crack of dawn' this morning. The so gets up at 5:30 to get to work, and you can't get up and organised, and have a Booboo.....

That's called 'the middle of the night'.
