Whenever I have trouble sleeping, Bill likes to quote Fritz Perls who said, "Losing sleep is nothing to lose sleep over." It's really easy to piss off a sleep-deprived person by saying things like this. At least it used to piss me off when Bill would say it.
More recently, I started to understand what old Fritz might mean. I have had more sleepless nights as of late (another gift sponsored by MENOPAUSE). I am learning to accept my insomnia.
Last night I woke up at 12:45 a.m. I gave up on going back to sleep at about 1:00. Between 1:00 and 5:00 I graded 22 assignments, baked a coffee cake, did dishes, read a little and watched an old episode of Frazier. Not a bad nights work and play for an insomniac.
