When I get tired, I feel old. Do you?
I went to bed at the usual time last night, watched a sitcom I'd recorded, turned off the TV, and fell asleep almost immediately.
Then I woke less than an hour later and couldn't go back to sleep.
After an hour, I had a glass of milk and read for a while. I became sleepy again, turned off the light .... and my senses popped wide open again.
I got up, sat in the living room with a book, and when I felt sleepy, went straight to bed. Nothing.
Finally, after 2:00 AM, I gave up and took a mild sleep aid, and 45 minutes later, felt drowsy. I did finally fall to sleep, but at this point I was exhausted. I slept until after 8:00 this morning, but I'm hardly refreshed from what sleep I got. I'll take a nap later, and hope tonight is better.
Yep, this is how I feel right now. I do hope I get some rest and and "grow younger."
sigh.
These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................
I didn't sleep well last night myself Lyn, and yes, I feel about 100 years old today. Need a nap as well. Get your nap asap.:)
ReplyDeleteI've had lunch, so now I can nap. Ahhh.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that when I retire I will be a night owl. I love staying up late!! But I know when you want to get some sleep and you can't it becomes very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteHope you take some good naps today.
I'm not extreme, but I tend to be a night owl, too. I'm usually up till 12:00 or 1:00. I've been going to be earlier (10:30 or 11:00ish) since the surgery to allow myself as much rest as possible for healing. I'll surely be glad when I feel like myself on the energy again!
ReplyDeleteWell I've had one nap, about 30-40 minutes. I feel like I may take another!
I have bad sleep issues. I can fall asleep but can't stay asleep all night. I was awake from 3-5:30am last night...so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI've had lengthy spell of doing that, but fortunately it has gotten better. I hope yours does, too.
