"To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub" ~~Shakespeare's Hamlet.
No one explained to me that when we get old, we don't sleep so well. My tribulations with sleep started when my daughter and grandchildren ingloriously moved out. I know I do a lot of things that contribute to my inability to sleep long term, but I refuse to medicate. It will work out, in time. I just do what I can. This week, I am probably averaging 3-5 hours per night. I'm not on a schedule, so there is no problem. If I get up at 3:00 AM to putter around until I get sleepy again, there is no one to make me feel guilty for doing so. It is what it is!!
Sleep is highly overrated! 'Tis a bit ironic that teenagers and young people crave it, and old people don't need it. What's up with that??
