Well, so far it is 2:45am and *she* is still asleep, which I think is good news (obviously I am not asleep... this is why I won't work days ever - I fall asleep early and my body decides it must've been a nap, that lasts for several days or weeks, I go manic, then crash and oversleep... I had 5 day shifts scheduled at work once at made it to 4. Then a work training that was 5 days. Made it to 4. Mind you, I told them all about this in my interview and they said they'd work around it).
Anyway, this thread isn't about me...
She's sleeping, but it doesn't seem she's sleeping too well. There are no lights on, no sounds (other than house settling and a fan that's always on), even the animals are quiet. Yet she's still all wiggly in her sleep.
I spoke too soon. There goes a cat doing something... yesterday, her therapist and I were trying to come up with a theory about the best time to try to wake her from a nap (for "normal" people, there are specific times, for example, at the time, she was at 90 minutes), but based in the way she sleeps, we had no idea. There is no sleep research center here that looks for anything besides apnea (she has very mild apnea, below levels even necessary to treat it).
She just woke up. She said, "it's too early". I said yes, honey, it is. She asked if she could go back to sleep, and I said of course. Then she kept talking about random stuff. We'll see...
