Granny here,
It's 4:50 a.m. and here I am wide eyed and bushy tailed as usual, awake doing nothing, longing for that "normal" good nights sleep which I haven't had it seems since I was a teenager, (no not really) but in all honesty it has been way too long.
I've been up since 2 a.m. went to sleep around 12 so I only took a nap which is what I usually do then I'm up for 4-5 hours reading, watching T.V., playing games, crocheting, whatever my hands can find to do to keep myself from screaming. I really feel like jumping off a cliff but give up on that idea, too messy.
But I do long for a good nights sleep where you lay your head on that fluffy pillow and drift off into dreamland around 11 p.m. and don't open your eyes until around 8, wouldn't that be like heaven. Does a night like that exist anywhere in the world today. I don't really think so not in my world it doesn't.
I steer away from artificial aids such as pills etc. After watching pills take the world to _____ in a hand basket I've chosen to stay as far away from them as possible unless absolutelyyyyyyyyyyyyy necessary. So I guess this battle of sleeplessness is mine to fight in whatever way I can and so far I hate to admit it but I'm loosing. But it's not the only battle I've lost in my life and I seem to be doing fine.
My 95 yr. old mother has an old saying that she quotes "the bags around her eyeballs are red instead of white" and boy is that true for me. You know what I'm more than ready to unpack these bags and get me some sleep!
Granny here, just saying!
