I used to get up and mop floors or do some other activity, but as I have aged a little I simply lay there and let my mind roam........ or read a few good blogs!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-39484658175625830422009-09-14T02:21:06.328-05:002009-09-14T02:21:06.328-05:00Sleep IS a petulent child.

Just last night I was blissfully sleeping, snoring away despite one of those damn nose strips, when my wife wakes me.<br /><br />'What am I going to do with you?'

Our bodies sure do know how to let us know that enough was more than enough! The snoring husband is my biggest demise when it comes to sleep. He even wakes himself it's so loud. Fortunately, I'm deaf in one ear so if I happen to be sleeping on the wrong side, I'm up no matter what enticement I give Madam sleep.<br />AliciaAlicia @ boylerpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494653464202092752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-91625590479516038932009-09-13T21:41:44.681-05:002009-09-13T21:41:44.681-05:00That pesky sleep has a mind of its own sometimes a...That pesky sleep has a mind of its own sometimes and you captured the struggle perfectly . . . deep sleep to you!JOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530746118038339670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-30585785817852899892009-09-13T18:46:18.192-05:002009-09-13T18:46:18.192-05:00I like that sleep aid commercial on tv where the w...I like that sleep aid commercial on tv where the woman wakes up in the middle of the night, as you described here, and a rooster is sitting on the foot of her bed crowing. A voice says, "Tired of morning coming in the middle of the night?"<br /><br />I had this problem for a long time, and I did what you do, I got up. But then about 5, I would be able to sleep again, but have to get up in an hour and a half for work. I finally stopped it happening by using Excedrin PM when I feel keyed up.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-72743701254047691382009-09-13T15:42:35.197-05:002009-09-13T15:42:35.197-05:00Oh, honey, I hear you!

Last night was one of my rare sleep nights...10 hours...bliss! I gave up with moving to the sofa (my OH snores too) because I end up stiff and achey in the morning. OH is away at the moment, so when I can't sleep I switch on my laptop...thank goodness there are so many good blogs out there to keep me occupied.Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.com
