After a fitful night of sleep, and many many dreams that I actually remember (I've been dreaming a lot lately) I decided to wake up.
All week I've been waking up at around 8 or 9, just naturally. I was pretty bummed about it since I'm off of work and my body should at least let me sleep in until 10 or something.
So today, I grumpily woke up, knowing once again that I was waking up early in the morning.
I looked at the clock and it said 4:50.
"dammit, the power went out again!" I thought to myself.
However, the light wasn't blinking. "Hmm...Dave must have hit the time button or something." I reasoned to myself.
So I got out of bed and went to the table where my watch was. It read 4:50. "WTF?" I'm thinking. It's 5 in the morning and I'm awake? And if so, where the hell is my husband? He was there when I went to sleep!
So I rise out of bed and wander into the house, and it's a cloudy, hazy day, and I wonder to myself, "Is the sun this bright at 5 in the morning?" I find my cell phone and it reads 4:46pm. WHAT?!?!?!?
Then the realization comes to me that I've slept the whole day through. Wasted a day of "Law and Order" and internet surfing. Missed 2 doses of eye medication. Missed breakfast and lunch. But the weirdest thing is that my body allowed me to sleep for, uh, 15 hours. (Went to sleep at around 2 am, watching TV with the father in law and bro in law)
And the crazy thing is....I'm still sleepy!

Posted by: marie on July 30, 2004 05:50 PMSleep is often the body's way of healing. I wish I could sleep more: never past 4:30 a.m. or more than 6 hours a night. Comes of being hyperactive I guess. Take advantange of that now :)

Posted by: SusanG on July 30, 2004 09:19 PMThat's pretty funny, but isn't it the most disorienting feeling in the world? That always happens to me when I take naps. I wake up and feel so strange. What times is it? What day is it? Where am I? Who am I?

Posted by: Sue on July 31, 2004 09:10 AMwow! 15 hours! your body is telling you to rest, surgery is hard on the body, and you've been thru so much lately.....I'm glad you were able to sleep....
