Sleep Time

Swiped from frac:

6 Weird things I do while getting ready to sleep or while sleeping:

I have now started my response a half-dozen times as a list, and it's just not doable. Watching me get ready for bed drives Beast nuts. I have to brush my teeth, wash my face, medicate in various ways (don't ask), and brush my hair. For the past two weeks I've also been putting tooth whitener in preparation for all the pictures coming up next weekend.

Then I get in bed.

Then I usually realize I've forgotten something: a pill, lip gloss, whatever...and I have to go take care of it.

Then my feet are cold, so I have to dig out socks.

Then I read or do a sudoku for awhile. And realize I need to go to the bathroom (again).

When I get back in bed, I read more or whatever, and then sometimes my feet get hot so the socks have to come off (I can do that with my toes, but it still makes the bed move a little bit).

Eventually, I'm falling asleep over the puzzle or the book, so I put it on the floor along with the second pillow under my shoulders. When I lie back down, it's generally more of a "flop" including a roll to my side. I have to sleep with my upward-facing arm along my side instead of curled up in front of my chest, otherwise I get terrible back pain over time.

I'm clearly high maintenance, at least in this regard.
