Marathon naps

Occasionally, I will have a marathon nap where I'm glued to the bed for 12-18 hours. (I totally identify with that Murakami character from Wind-up Bird Chronicles.

Today was the second marathon nap in a week. They've never been closer than 6 weeks apart. I'm sure there is a reason.

I think aliens are siphoning my vital essence during my sleep. Look what happened to that elephant.

You've been under a lot of stress lately. Your body needs a break every now and then if you let it.

I reckon if I could be in a dark room with no interference I could sleep for a couple of days without any problem at all.

haha...nah, just a mother of 4 (5 if you include my husband) with a constant flow of foot traffic through the house, trying to get a small business up and running while managing all the other day to day stuff that comes along.

I'm tired. To the bone.

Oh yeah, me too. I'm asleep almost instantly, and maybe 30 minutes later Mr. Clod will come in and turn on a lamp to read and I'll still stay passed right out. I used to have trouble falling asleep, back in my youth when I wasn't living in a constant state of sleep deprivation.

Certain vitamins are required for alertness, potassium, the entire B complex, and D. If any of these are low, you will want to sleep all the time. I've been low on each of these at some point which is how I know.

And chronically tired is one of the signals of depression.

Or, something completely different.

I wish I could sleep for 12-18 hours, or preferably for two days. I fall asleep instantly and wake up 90 minutes later. Doze and wake all night. I am sooo tired ...

but everyone has stress and most of us are tired. Those who can sleep - carry on!!
