What I Have Learned - Take Three

I have learned that I do, in fact, need sleep.

I am not much of a sleeper, unfortunately, not my choice. I have always been a light sleeper and a restless sleeper. I have also always been able to function on very little, and very broken, sleep. It worked well for me when my children were babies. I wasn't the Mom who dreaded the every two hour feedings, because I wasn't sleeping anyway. I actually cherished that time with them, alone, in the dark peaceful house.

But enough already, my kids are no longer babies. They sleep through the night. They sleep 10-12 hours a night, every night. Unfortunately, I do not.

But the lack of sleep is now starting to take its toll on me. I want the sleep. I want to wake up rested and ready for my day. I want to lay my head upon my pillow and dream until the alarm goes off. One day, I promise, sleep WILL be mine.
