quiet

I have been quiet lately. Not just here - on all the blogs. The truth of the matter is that I have slept a total of 12 hours in the past 96. Yep - that's right 12 hours of sleep in 4 days. This includes the one night I didn't sleep at all.

Why I am like this? Don't know. I work so late, then cannot sleep.

Part of the problem is this: I do not WANT to sleep. There is too much to do, see, hear, write. It's like an eating disorder - but with rest. I do not WANT to go to bed - and when I do - I don't really like being there.

I completely understand that feeling. I have never loved going to bed. I just love being awake and alert...life is so interesting and I don't want to miss a single bit of it! but I do make myself rest because I know it's good for me...but I completely understand that feeling...

Melanie -
I hope when you do sleep you don't dream about the elves and the plaster of paris . . . scariest dream EVER.

Come on... another tease about those elves...? Are we talking Snow White's elves? or EVIL elves?

Evil - long story - but in a nutshell - I am 5, whole family watches at the VFW Bar while the elves pour plaster of paris on me - thereby turning me, my teddy bear and my bed into a statue - a permanent fixture in the Port Hueneme VFW bar.

You need peaceful sleep, where the dreams don't come. I use to dread sleep, I never felt rested, felt like crap. Now I do relaxation stuff at bedtime, if I don't get enough sleep, I know I am not well, on so many levels.
