Ok - so I got a great night's sleep last night ... over 9 hours of uninterrupted zzzz and I feel worse :( I can't seem to win... but I was talking to my mom on the phone last night as she harassed my dad for having to take calls at night when I was younger... and discussing that not everyone can wake up alert and functional...
case in point was a few years ago now (pre-kids) when my husband and I were fairly newly married and living in Kitchener, Ontario... we had gone to bed about an hour before the phone rang, and for some reason, my dear sweet Wayne reached over me to grab the phone; he answered it, said "Yep, yep, nope, ok" and then hung the phone back up. I asked him who was on the phone and he said, "Don't worry about it" and promptly went back to sleep, so I did too...
Twenty minutes later, we hear a knock on our door and then another one... so I reach for my robe and get up to answer the door... in walks my brother and 3 of his friends, all of whom were living in Toronto and had come to Kitchener to go to a party... apparently 20 minutes before they had called and asked if it was ok to come over and crash for a bit and raid our kitchen... Wayne didn't remember any of the conversation asked what they were doing there ...
Needless to say, I don't ask Wayne to answer the phone at night any more and we don't have discussions when he first wakes up...
Anyway, hoping to find the balance between not enough sleep and too much sleep tonight :)
