Friday 5 - Sleep

Behold the Library Hamster's newest incarnation.  Joining him, please welcome the Aflac Duck.

As most of us would at least claim to be sleep deprived, I thought today's Friday 5 was a perfect end of the week exercise.   Friday 5 is fun and cool and allows you to post something with miraculous ease, so you should totally do it.  Or comment on it.  It's cool, I tells ya!  Cool!

1.How many hours’ sleep do you need in order to be at your best, and what’s the minimum you can get on a regular basis and still be functional?  I'd say that ideally I'd be getting a good seven hours of sleep each and every night.  Maybe even eight, but lets not get crazy.  I regularly get more like five or six and it is fine for a while.  Then I usually have that day where I am noticeably dazed and I pass out by 9 or 10 pm without being able to do a thing about it. 

2.What’s your favorite sleeping position?  I like to lay on my right side and spoooooon. 

3.What was the cause of your most recent difficulty sleeping? I so rarely have difficulty sleeping.  I did wake up extra early this past Monday and couldn't get back to sleep.  I think I'd just had a very vivid dream or something.  But usually even when I'm upset I can put myself to sleep.

4.When you can’t seem to drift off to sleep right away, what are some things you do to bring about sleep?  If I don't feel sleepy enough, I usually just read until I do.  Sometimes, doing something to um, physically relax myself, lets say, can help.  It is strictly theraputic.

5.When did you last doze off at an inappropriate time or in an inappropriate place?  I honestly can't think of a time I've dozed off in public or anything like that.   I often doze off on the couch when DR is over having one of his all night tv watching sessions, but I think that is appropriate!  Who can stay up past 1 or 2 am watching tv?  Not me apparently.

Thanks for participating, and have a restful weekend!
