Sleep

[bertine]

I was just sort of thinking about sleep while I was at the dentist office* today and wonder if you have any problems sleeping. I don't, I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere, I can sleep through a lot and I can get up, deal with something and then fall right back to sleep. I feel lucky about this.

Mmmm, it depends on what you mean by "trouble"... I don't go to sleep very easily, and once I do sleep I wake at the slightest noise or change, and then once I've been woken up my chances of getting back to sleep are pretty much nil. E says that he feels sorry for me and that he would be miserable and seek professional help if it were him, but personally I love being this way, so I don't see it as trouble. I've never been a fan of sleep, it seems like a complete waste of time to me, so to be the kind of person who can wake up easily at any time and immediately be fully alert and ready to tackle anything... it totally works for me. I wouldn't want to be one of those people who sleeps like a rock for a third or more of every day and then drags it out with the snooze button for however much longer until they finally, reluctantly emerge half-dead and grumbling incoherently about coffee. I can't remember the last time I had to set an alarm for anything... even if I have to catch an early flight or something I know I'll just automatically wake up at the right time.

If I could be fully awake when I wake up I would like that. As it is I am "Zombie Bertine" for a good 45 mins after I wake up and it has nothing to do with the amount of sleep I have had. This is why I don't take naps.

I am actually pretty good at getting up for things and I don't really use an alarm. I tend to wake up when I need to but love my bed so much that I don't want to leave it.
