lol... you hit the nail on the head with this recount...that's ME on sleepless nights. Only I keep Jim up with kisses.

I hope you managed to get some rest, but if you are like me you finally fell asleep right when the alram clock rang.

Hope your day isn't cranky.

You are right about falling asleep right about when the alarm when off. I fell asleep slightly before it actually. And then I had nightmares. :(

Surprisingly I am in a very good mood this morning! I hope that lasts all day.

OH! This was hilarious and painfully familiar! I hope you eventually did get some sleep.

Unfortunately not. I was awake until at least 5 am, then I promptly fell into an uneasy sleep studded with nightmares. Oh well.

I'm feeling really good despite it all. But it's a good thing I can sleep in tomorrow!

good post, smudgeon.

Sometimes i just have to get up and walk around, turn the lights on to rationalize to myself that i really am tired standing here in brights lights. I tend to obsess over one thing and then i try to consciously replace that thing with something else that won't keep me up.....neither ever work.

and yes, attempt at a nickname.... sort of a softer version of curmudgeon...okay....maybe it needs work.

I don't usually have restless nights, but last night was a bad one. I was just wired, as wide awake as if it had been 3 pm instead of 3 am. Oh well.

The nickname is coming along, I'm sure you'll get one you like. Though, I admit, I like that you were looking for something off of the word curmudgeon! It's so fitting!!

I think of you as "Waringfaction" in my head. I know you are Greg, but I rarely think of you that way. Same as with most folks on lj. In fact, if I ever met you, I think I would be shocked if you weren't a small red boat.

Sing it, sister!

I have a love/hate relationship with sleep. And with sleeping with a man.

I used to! I used to hate sleeping with people - anyone. Even sharing a bed with a friend while crashing at their house, anything like that drove me crazy. As far as men were concerned, they were not allowed to sleep over - ever. They could share my bed for an hour or two, and then it was "Here's a towel, here's your keys. Drive safe."

Now I'm used to it. Michael's a big snuggler, which took me awhile to deal with, but I like it now.

Well, except on nights like last night!

What? You made them go home in nothing but a TOWEL? :P
I can't sleep when it's very windy because of these on either side of the house. This may or may not be a sneaky trick to get you to read my lj so be warned.

Hells yes. I kept their clothes in order to make sure they came back. It was my version of the "leave an earring on the night stand" ploy.

You don't need sneaky tricks to get me to read your lj, I do it all the time! I went back and looked at all your entries last week, as I was coming back out of my hiatus. (That picture of the clown-woman-thing scared me.) It's just sometimes, m'dear, you leave me speechless. :)

As an only child, any sleeping arrangement except alone took forever to get used to. Nowadays, the slightest movement not of my own making wakes me up just as I'm drifting off, but other than that, I must be accustomed to it because I sleep like a log most nights.

Reminds me of the time the bed collapsed under us... we were sound asleep, thank you, at 4 AM, when one of the slats in the box-spring broke, sending the head end of the mattress right to the floor. Talk about rude awakening. After I made a foggy-headed realization of what happened, we had no luck fixing easily, so I said "Screw it!" and just tried to make the best of it. Perhaps needless to say, I had an horrible headache and felt shocky and irritable all day long. :o(

Oh my goodness! I'd never get back to sleep. My heart would be pounding with adrenaline. I did actually have a bed collapse in the middle of intercourse. Another rude awakening, but somehow I suspect it was a lot funnier to us than it was to you. Although, like you we just soldiered on and tried to make the best of it!

I am not an only child, but my sibling always did have a separate bedroom, so I am sure like you, that is why I have a hard time sleeping with someone else. It's nice when it's cold though, I will say that. :)
