I have a sleeping disorder.
I like to blame my condition on accumulated sleep deprivation of my first paper route, early morning seminary, and morning piano/cello practising.
It seems that because I was a sleep deprived, my body can never get enough.
As soon as I start to feel my eyes get heavy, there is no hope,
I will be asleep within minutes.
I have fallen asleep:
at the theatre
at the dance studio
during every class I have ever taken
on the floor of the airpot
in my closet(wierd)
on my first date with tim(haha)
at church
on the beach
in tiffany & co
Okay this one is bad...
In NY during "Wicked".
Let me clarify: It was AMAZING! However, after an exhausting day of shopping and touring, my eyes started getting heavy...
I had to physically hold them open. I was NOT going to fall asleep during one of my favourite productions of all time in NEW YORK!
Unfortunately sleep prevailed. I honestly have no control. I am proud to say I was only asleep five minutes before my body woke up in complete terror of what I may have missed. I stayed awake after that.
Not only am I slave to my sleep, but every one else is as well.
Call me the cuddle monster.
I steal ALL the covers
I take up ALL the space on the bed.
I smother anyone in the same bed as me.
and I am completely oblivious to everything.
The other day Tim did an experiment. I was asleep (of course), and I latched on to him in my sleep (of course), so he softly pushed me away, just to see how long it would take for me to gravitate back.
One... Two...Three...
I was back!
He pushed me away again.
One.. Two... Three...
I'm back!
One... Two... Three...
Are you serious!? She is back?
It's true, I have a sleeping disorder. I wrote this post because this morning I hated waking up. It was physically painful. And instead of venting and being angry about how hard life is, ( I don't really like to be angry) I decided to diagnose myself with this condition to make me feel better. It totally worked.
I think the best cure for me is just to follow Jane's advice: go to bed earlier.
Thank you Tim for being so patient with my morning grumpiness. You are the best husband.
Sincerely
The Mrs.
