Like it would have been some winters when we were helpless to change it. People fell into an interesting pattern, They'd sleep for 6+ hours, then spend 4+ hours in a sort Hypnogogic state, not

Hey, trying to catch up on people's lives and get away from work...

Hooray, catness! Happy you met the resident kitty.

I have been very wiped, trying to sleep, occasionally achieving sleep on the weekends. One morning of lots of sleep, I kept waking-going back to sleep-waking-going back to sleep. Interesting state of notawakeness. I had a long coolass dream where I was some powerful mythic figure who could ride a flying horse (a nightmare?) and the guy I loved turned out to be Death. Not really the Grim Reaper, but something like, and he wasn't on a powertrip or anything. You'd think dating Death would be nothing but trouble, but he was as reasonable as the next guy...

It gave me this idea for a film short. What if Sex and Death were set up on a blind date? "Our friends have been saying we'd be a great match for so many years..."

That can be a lovely mental place - one that I have learned to achieve fairly easily at the beginning of the night (through relaxation/self-hypnosis work) and that happens naturally when - as now - I am unemployed and don't have to get up early in the morning.

BTW, how does one get a cat to shut it?

Try tuna. Positive reinforcements usually work better on cats.
