The night before last it was raining again and the millipedes decided to visit again. The wife sprayed the Raid once again attempting to kill them. So I didn’t go to bed until about 4:30. I didn’t want to sleep with Raid again.
Then there was a “leggy bug” as my wife calls them. I missed the kill I think. I couldn’t find the body corpse at any rate. The wife refused to sleep in the bedroom. She really has a fear of them crawling on her in the middle of the night. So we both slept on the couch.
It is crazy that we both fit on the couch with decent comfort. Kevin will tell you that my wife is skinny. She has gotten some meat back on her bones from being in the hospital, but she is still a tiny lady. But it is a couch ok, they are just not made for 2 people to sleep on, and we don’t have one of the laid back couches either.
So after not getting my normal 3 or 4 hours of sleep I only got 2 or less. Last night I was snoozing by midnight. I think that I got too much sleep. For me 3 or 4 hours is about all I need to keep going. Some folks say that is because I’m young. Well I’m not as young as I once was, but I manage.
I’m not much of a morning person either. I wake up cranky at 6:30. My wife puts up with it. She knows when I get my bearings about me from waking up that I will be less cranky. It is just the initial wake up and get out of bed, or lack of wanting to get out of bed. There are the times that I have vivid dreams that being woke up brings those dreams to reality. Then I babel about stupid stuff. Heck, I talk in my sleep, and my wife enjoys carrying on a conversation with my sleep talking self.
How important is your sleep cycle to you? Do you feel well rested after 2 hours? 12 hours? Let me know.
