Are you an essential grain?

1. I slept almost eight hours. Sure, I had to take half a Seroquel (which would be 12.5 mg) to get to sleep, but then at least I did sleep. I hate how I've become dependent on sleep aids again. And pills like Seroquel that aren't actually sleep aids, but allow me to sleep. I'm still very tired, but at least I know my body rested

One night, in the middle of some night when our Sasha was a very tiny kitten, my husband woke me up angrily demanding that I take my fist from out of the small of his back. When I'd finally convinced him that it wasn't me (I'd been sleeping with my back to him and had to show him both of my hands), he asked, "Then what the hell is THAT?", rolled over, and a tiny black bullet shot out from under him. Thirteen years later, she loves him madly...but sleeps between me and the edge of the bed.

Just FYI, I'll buy "The Drowning Girl" gladly and immediately, and I don't expect anything of you other than something intelligently written. If it's something new and unexpected, so much the better!

Sleep...I've never really commented on this, but I do appreciate what you say. I go to sleep just fine pretty much every night, and about 1:30-2:00 a.m. almost every night I'm wide awake. Nothing helps - warm milk, drugs, laying in bed, getting up, drinking, not drinking, none of it makes the slightest difference. And then the alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m., and as I drag myself through my morning and then my day I console myself with the idea that my exhaustion will allow me at least one precious night of real sleep (Hah!)....wash, rinse, repeat....
