I'm waiting for mine. I was referred to a sleep study, some time ago, since I just can't seem to sleep properly. They'll also send some apparatus my way, to see if I get any oxygen while I sleep. :P



One of the first things they needed to either confirm or eliminate was apnoea.  They were laughing, when I awoke unexpectedly (and responded to both of them, beyond the glass), at how I breathe when I sleep. They were making jokes about my thinking that ALL the air was mine and i am close to hyperventilating, during deep sleep. 

They made extensive notes about this oddness, also. I am not even tended towards apnoea.

I think what happens is that I use (or maybe, conduct?) just as much energy, although, possibly more efficiently, when I sleep as when I do my fun things, but the flow of that energy is reversed.

They think I might have apnea because I'm always tired.

Fun things, indeed. ;)

Maybe if I got tired on some schedule I could sleep more regularly, too.

I insist that my "body clock" is much longer than my work day - always has been. Yes, I come home muscle-tired sometimes, but my muscles do not demand sleep, only a moment of rest. The need for sleep comes from someplace inside my mind. That's why I think the "perfect drug"  would put me out, quickly, and allow me to follow my workday schedule more closely.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I take a long time to get to sleep, unless I wait until I'm really, really tired before I go to bed; it's not unusual for me to lie in bed in the dark for several hours before finally drifting off.  Once I'm asleep, I find it very difficult to wake up, and can get back to sleep in seconds if I'm disturbed.  If I'm forced to get up too early, I can have a lingering feeling of disorientation and confusion for several hours, and can get straight back to sleep even after I've had a shower and gotten dressed.

I'm like that when I go to bed, but more easily disturbed once I wake up. I could never go back to sleep after a shower.

Read some more Harry Potter.  Am now on the Half-Blood Prince.  Hated the Order of the Phoenix though, it always makes me cry when Sirius dies  ::)

Apart from that, avoided revision.

Did you kill the donkey or was it natural causes?

Went to my oldest daughter's school awards ceremony. She cleaned up again this year in academics, but by the same token, what a lot of paper being wasted on all these certificates.

Son graduates from kindergarten tomorrow.

Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems
