I woke up before 6 a.m. today. Not because I needed to, but because I have trouble sleeping, and have all my life. I totally envy anyone who can crawl into bed and immediately fall asleep, and then stay asleep for six to eight hours, and then wake up refreshed. I can't remember that ever happening to me. Ever. It's not just insomnia - I actually have four diagnosed sleep disorders (sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movements in sleep, and sleep paralysis). It wasn't until I went to college and had to share a bedroom for the first time that I learned that taking an hour or more to get to sleep was not normal. I've done the sleep clinic thing and I visit a doctor who specializes in sleep disorders. All in all, not a fun thing.
So for all of you waking up this morning, stretching and thinking about how good you slept last night - realize how lucky you are.
