Aye, there's the rub!
Thank you, Shakespeare!
I don't sleep well these days. At best, I get five hours. Sometimes more; sometimes less. Today, I was up at 3:00 AM. This is nothing new.
Usually, when I wake up long before an acceptable time, I force myself to stay in bed and continue to doze. Today, however, was a bit different. I was having crazy dreams that made it impossible for me to go back to sleep. As stupid as it sounds, I was dreaming that my ex-husband was trying to force his way back into my life...and other such impossibilities. My conscious brain was rejecting all that my subconscious brain was suggesting...so I woke up with no hope of going back to sleep.
All I want out of life right now is to sleep restfully all night. I guess I need a definition of what constitutes "all night"!! I long ago gave up fighting my circadian rhythm. If all my body wants by way of sleep is five hours, I guess I need to accept that...but why????
If this is part of the aging process, I don't like it, but nobody asked me!
