I’m usually a sleeper, a hell of a sleeper. I can sleep through terrible things.
A few years ago, my cat Tuffy stuck a claw in my eye. I went downstairs, asked Steve if I was bleeding, and when he said no, I went back to bed. The doctor at the emergency room the next day just gaped at me.
“But this is the sort of thing that brings people here immediately.”
I shrugged. “I was sleepy.”
But the past few days have been filled with restlessness. Unease. Last night was the new bed and I hoped to drop off in a cloud of blissful luxury firm. Instead, I thrashed and woke every few minutes, sure that my alarm was about to go off.
The answer is simple: I gots de stress, baybee.
Stress can be good, or bad. Not sleeping is bad (generally, unless you’re actively pursuing some other activity). 🙂
I’m sorry to hear you’re stressed out and not getting the sleep you need. Have you tried a cup of camomile tea and meditating?
If I meditate, I fall asleep! I’ve been falling asleep, then keep waking restlessly. Last night was better, though.
