perchance to dream
My sleeping habits are no secret. Toss and turn for a few hours, start to drop off into deep sleep about dawn, and if left undisturbed, sleep blissfully until noon. This doesn't work in today's world for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I have responsibilities. If I were awake and being productive until dawn, that would be one thing. But that's not the case, of course.
Tonight I'm going to try some medication my doctor has prescribed for me. Her thinking is that a two-week course of this might make all the difference to break the pattern. I need to enlist hobbitt's help in this, since he's going to have to wake me up.
I'll keep you posted.
In other news, today would have been my grandmother's 124th birthday. She's been gone for 40 years. I can still hear her voice, and feel her cool dry fingers on my face. I miss her.

And happy birthday to Grandma. (I miss mine, too.)
my friend had some luck with that stuff. i hope you will, too. you've got a good friend/doctor.
hope the medication helps.
dave and i got married on what would have been my grandma's 108th birthday.
i know EXACTLY what you mean about still hearing her voice and feeling her touch.
i thought of her VIVIDLY the other day, as i sliced peaches for a snack. i could see her face, and hear her say "oooh, i just love sliced peaches!"
of course, i burst into tears.
i hope your grandmas's birthday was as happy as mine was!
