Sleep is a wonderful and mysterious thing. Wonderful in how it can refresh us, give us energy and make us feel better. Mysterious when it seems to deprive us of these things.
Lately it has seemed like my body will lay still and get rest, however, I'm always waking with a thought, or action, or conversation, or something of substance in my head. Then I suddenly feel bogged down like I've been pulling an all nighter. The bad thing is that my body is starting to fatigue as well as my mind. Granted a fatigued mind and have worse accidents than a tired body, but it's easy to deal with one or the other... not both. I first new something was up when it seemed caffine wasn't really helping. I've been finding that when I nap on the couch I hearing the TV and start contemplating things with what feels like near full consciencness. Then also while in bed with my other half I was aware of laying there holding her when she said something to get my attention. She said that I had a few words conversation with her, but I suddenly remembered starting something feeling like a dream while still physically aware of my surroundings. Normally I wouldn't think anything of it except the sitution as lots of little "sibling" situtions with it. Well times up. Time to go.
