The sleep of the just…
There are a few strange things that can happen during sleep, and by strange I mean normal strange (I used to live in a roach infested apartment almost 20 years ago in Chicago…another story, another time). One is when you’re falling asleep and you jerk, sometime violently, to stop yourself from “falling.” Another natural way to wake during sleep is from a dream or nightmare. More frightening than that to whomever sleeps with you is if you’re a sleepwalker. And finally, there’s the panic wake. I’ve been pushing it a bit too much since my surgery, and yesterday was an especially tiring day for me. I didn’t sleep well last night despite how tired I was, but today conked out at about noon. I woke at 4:00pm in that rare but familiar panic mode…”Where am I? What time is it? What day is it? I’ve slept through the entire day and night! AHHHHHHHHHH!” Well, it’s still afternoon and the worst of the lot is that I missed the Cubs game…
Rave on!
