Jeez! All I needed was a good night's sleep!?!?

It’s been a while since I last wrote. I’ve been quiet tired and lethargic since my last entry.




This morning was different. The alarm went off, I hit snooze twice, then I just got up and started doing the dishes. Huh.



The fact is I got a good night’s sleep last night. Other mornings have me hitting the snooze indefinitely. The truth is I feel like the chemicals or mechanisms that are in place to keep me from moving in my sleep while dreaming are still in my system. In other words; I should still be sleeping. I’ve also been told that I snore, almost violently. The truth is, though rarely, there has been occasions when I woke myself with my own snoring.



Waking this morning felt natural. I awoke with alertness.



Where am I going with all this? Well, a good night sleep for me tends to be more the exception rather than the rule. Improving the overall “restfulness” of my sleep just might be the silver bullet, the magic spell I’ve been looking for! I guess it’s possible that I have sleep apnea, and it’s about time I do something about it, because, right now, I feel great! If this is what life feels like being well rested all the time, I definitely want to sign up for that!!!

  1. virg. i think its all about association. the things you do in life are always associated by certain emotions. like the gym we associate pain and being tired. therefore we don't like to go...but if we associate something like the gym as gas for your mind and body we make it a point to be there. not sure what to associate sleep with...i wanna sleep yet i dont want to..lol.

  2. I'm big with the whole associating pain and pleasure to things, but in this case I associate great pleasure to sleep, yet it seems that the "quality" of sleep I'm getting is more often then not, poor. If there is infact a "real" physical symptom I can confront and correct, I'd be a fool not to correct it. After that, I can work on associating pleasure to a Monday morning ;-)
