My children and husband always laugh at me because I have difficulties staying up late. I am usually in bed by ten. During the week I wake at 5:45am and get ready for work. Technically, that is almost 8 hours of sleep a night which is what adults should receive but I am always dead tired. I can’t remember the last time I actually slept all night long. It has probably been years and years. It takes the littlest thing to wake me up and once I am awake I can’t go back to sleep. My husband snores and the dogs pace all night long. I also have really strange and on occasion disturbing dreams that wake me. Most of my dreams don’t make a lot of sense but the content starts my brain in motion and I can’t shut it off once it starts.
I often tell myself that I am not getting out of bed before 7:30am on the weekends. Unfortunately, I am usually awake before then. Lying in bed seems like a waste of time if I can’t go back to sleep. I get out of bed and start my day as my family sleeps in until noon.
