Not A Good Night

[poliphilo]

We were woken around 1.30 by a thunder storm. It came with hail attached. Ailz  went downstairs and made herself a cup of coffee. At 3.00 I went and fetched her.  She was sitting in front of the computer reading the Daily Mail. She said she'd have come back sooner only she couldn't face the stairs in the dark. I said that's why we have a stair lift. She said she hadn't wanted to wake me up. I said not to worry about that. At 4.45 I got up and made myself a cup of tea.  Ailz asked why it was OK for me to be up when she had to stay in bed. I said she could get up if she wanted to. She said she'd rather not. I  sat at the computer and read LJ. At 5.15 I went back to bed. At 8.15  the postman knocked with a parcel that needed to be signed for. As I took it off him I realised I was wearing a nightshirt that opens up the front with nothing underneath.

Some nights just go completely off the rails and I have no idea why. Perhaps once the pattern or routine is broken, there is no restoring it again.

I think that's true. It's not a good idea to get wide awake in the early hours of the morning, when the mind is at its least resilient.

I've been sleeping way too late in the mornings because I wake up at 4 AM and can't go back to sleep until it's just dawning. When nights go haywire so do our sleep habits.

I hate broken nights.

Must be the full moon. I too woke up at 4 am and realized that Dan was still watching TV, and told him to come to bed.. which he did, but alas, now I could not sleep any more. I just hate this kind of night...

Yes, of course. I'd forgotten about the full moon.

Yuck. That's no fun. Once you wake up in the middle of the night, it's very difficult to get back to sleep. Hope you can catch up on sleep today!

I may take an afternoon nap in my armchair. I often do.
