Lots of things have changed in my life ...

I only sleep around 4 hours a night anymore. I use to sleep around 6 but since my wife died over a year ago that has dropped to 4. I occasionally get a little extra but not much. Surprisingly if it's a solid 4 good hours I can function but if it's broken sleep I struggle

Ok, that's 2 nights in a row for me that I've gotten 6 or more hours in. In fact, I remember getting up to let the dogs out, but fell right back to sleep and must have gotten back up to let them in, but don't remember that. Lol

All these years I was worried about getting hooked on pain pills and now I'm wondering if I can become addicted to benadryl ... because for sleeping, that **** is da bomb. Lol

Some of you people that aren't sleeping well, might talk to your Dr. about sleep apnea. If you've got it and can get treatment, it can be a life changer.

I know what's causing mine. It's cyclical in nature and I know EXACTLY what triggers it but you are right about the sleep apnea. I have a neighbor whose wife was diagnosed with it. She got a machine. It changed her life. Really.

While sleep (or lack thereof) is never really my friend, it's been a really tough two weeks. I'm overseeing a case that's resulting in twice daily briefings for the head of my agency. The calls from DC start at 06:00 and sometimes I'm still on the phone as I drive home at night. If I wake up in the middle of the night, that's it. My brain just won't shut off.

Yep. I used to have that problem with trials. Closer we got to trial on a case, worse it got. Nothing worse than not being able to turn it off ... especially in your sleep.

Well, it was a good run while it lasted ... Morning, guys!

 

[Glock 'em down]

G'mornin' sweetie.

G'mornin' sweetie.

I sure hope you're up because you're on hoots, and not because you "are up" ... Lol ... Good God all that sounds so ... ahem ... not quite right but I'm too lazy to figure out a way to fix it ... **insert random jokes here at my expense**

 

[Glock 'em down]

No, I'm not up just for shits and grins.

It's a common thing amongst middle aged men.

LOL! Yeah, they stuck me on the ing zombie shift back around the first of August.

Rat bastids. :finger:
