How many hours of sleep did you get last night?

About 5. Oddly, I'm having trouble falling asleep for a nap this afternoon.

Instead, I found a lady on the clock app that uses a furry mic. She blows on it and rubs it with her hands and it sounds enough like waves that I sleep like a milk drunk baby when I play it.

I gave myself the present of not setting an alarm and I set up that wave video to play all night. I slept over 9 hours. I cannot even remember when I slept that long in one stretch. It felt soooo good when I got up.

IF I can get into bed in the next 10 minutes and IF I can stay asleep the whole time, I'll get 5 hours and 15 minutes of sleep. Ready....set....go!!!

7 and it feels like more. Feeling well rested. Didn’t need any lists to fall back asleep through the night. The Smart-Technology Goddess suggested I try the jungle sounds but I passed on that. Ocean waves and rain storms are my speed.

Bits and parts of pieces of hours here and there put together added up, I'd say about 3 ½. I'm on a medication right now that I have to take four times a day so to make sure I start my day off right J wakes me up every morning at 7:30 – let the games begin! Then she'll call the other three times to make I've taken it/remind me to take it. In between all that, at least once or twice she'll call or text to remind me about something she forgot to tell me or ask me to help her remember something she forgot. Then at least once a day my grandson will want to speak to me and if he doesn't remember to during one of our calls then later J will agree to let him call me so long as he agrees directly after he will, without struggle or complaint, go down for a nap or bed for the night. I'm grateful to have medication, family members who care and plenty of time to just relax and take it easy till these drugs start kicking in but it will be so nice to finally get some unbroken, uninterrupted sleep!

Not nearly enough and here I am, at 1:30 in the morning. Bah.

A lot. 8 hours. I was tired and went to bed early. Didn't take an edible nor melatonin because I was achy and used a lot of canna-salve for my arthritis. Unfortunately, I was awake at 3 am. I'll need to work on having a better schedule, but it's all good for now.
