Mid-night torture

Sleep eludes me for the second night in a row; so frustrating because I’d been sleeping better just recently.

I’m never able to understand the patterns sleep holds for me or understand why one night affords rest and recuperation, when another leads only to frustration and restlessness.

Yep, one of the things that just gets worse as we get older john; but then saying that I sleep much better now than when I was a kid.

  Yeah I know... I sometimes wonder about the justice of it all though; why some folk seem able to sleep the clock round while others are denied...

Now I'm feeling guilty! I slept like a baby! Have a siesta later!

  No need to feel guilty... I'm sure I'll catch up eventually.

        Daps, dappers or pumps are the Welsh equivalent to a line drawn on a ship's side.

Sleep's a funny thing. Mr Penry says people just don't realise how much they need. Certainly as my father got older he slept more, although others claim they need less. Normally I'm not a night owl (unlike Mr Penry) but some days it does catch up with me and I nod off in the afternoon.

  I caught a couple of hours this afternoon...
  
  Wasn't it Churchill who said something about an afternoon nap being essential for a busy mind?

It sounds as though it could have been him. I think it's really important to get enough rest, no matter what your age. One of my children used to have to go to bed at a ridiculous early hour otherwise he used to get really ratty and irritable!

  Life can be difficult when children are irascible through lack of sleep can't it?
