sweet dreams for the restless little girl

the only way to keep me working in tip-top shape is by recharging. translation: sleep for 3 hours or more in the afternoon. i know it's crazy because it usually gives me a mean headache after sleeping that long but it's delicious, i tell you.

Nice said rest is elusive. i said it is SO too. even if my body is at rest snuggled beneath my favorite newly laundered blanket, my mind still runs like a mean Central Processing Unit of a computer. only, it goes to places that i'd rather stay away from. i'm usually in a restless mode if i begin to think of things that may make me sad or if i'm busy and stressed. if that happens, i'd begin to wish for a stop button that comes with our heads so that we can click on it anytime we wish to shut down our minds and fall into a dreamless sleep. but apparently, we all know the mind never sleeps even if our bodies are at rest. that's why there's dreaming.

what i hate most about sleeping is when it's shallow. when you wake up you feel like you did not shut your eyes at all and your body still yearns for more sleep. like you want to hibernate and forget about responsibilities of the day that are waiting for you as soon as you get off the bed.

i like sleeping and i am the type of person who grabs every opportunity to sleep and rest well whenever i get the chance to do so.

again, i wish it weren't that hard to sleep a dreamless sleep-- free from thoughts that probably float in a blackhole somewhere in the brain. i think all the thinking we do during the day is more than enough already.

until i'm over this and i can finally rest, sweet dreams for restless me.
