Sleep is for the Weak
By Nancy Lindquist | June 4, 2007
I’ve had sleep issues for a year now. I’m restless, rarely go more than four hours at a pop and have nightmares. It’s been since the Crown Princess tilt, so I know what triggered it, but I can’t blame the tilt on my sleep issues now. It just seemed to start a pattern in my life of sleeplessness.
I’ve never been able to sleep well, for long stretches, barring that time in college when I was depressed and slept almost round the clock for days. A good sleep eludes me. Still, this restless stress induced non-sleep is new in my life.
It’s not all bad news. I think when I’m sleepless. I put things together and make up my best stories. It’s when I’m lying in bed at night, staring at the ceiling that I work out my stress in my brain and deal with my life. I like that. I can think without pressure.
I like silver linings. I always look for one. Except when I’m too tired to bother.
