How’d You Sleep?

It drives me crazy when it’s happening, but it seems that every three months or so I go through a stretch where I wake up halfway through the night.

It’s funny, but every time someone wakes up in a movie the line is:

“It’s three o’clock in the morning!”

That was pretty much exactly when I was wide awake, every night, for nine nights straight.

No reason!

And I settled into a bit of a routine.

I was up for about an hour, and then I’d drift back to sleep  only to get up for work around six.

Wearing me out!

Broken sleep is rough, and I tried a few things - massage gun, stayed up a little later, put the phone down before sleep…

…nothing was working.

And then, on Tuesday night, I went to sleep around 10:30 and slept straight on through to 5:30.

Felt great!

Kathy texted me around 8:30.

“Did you sleep through the night?”

(As if I was a toddler).

“Yes!”

And just like that…

…it’s over.

Spoke to a couple of guys on the sites.

“Happens to me too.”

“I woke up at 1:30,” one guy said. “We’re old now. It happens.”

And in the working world the sleep habits of construction guys is funny.

“I usually go to bed around 8:30,” is a common theme. “Wake up early every damn day.”

Anywhoha….

…back to normal it seems.

Getting old ain’t for the weak.
