Actually, the world keeps changing and this is just another shift in my life. And it changed some time ago but I’ve just started noticing it.
I rarely nap anymore.
I love naps! I love sinking deeply from consciousness, being all mushy and floaty. I love rising part way to wakefulness, realizing there’s no reason to get up, then sinking back down again.
But these days, if I even remember to take a nap, I can’t fall asleep. My brain won’t turn off. The delicious drowsiness won’t come. Damn.
They came back to me in full glory about age 75 and at age 78.5 I can nap with the best of them again.
ReplyDeleteStress won't let you sleep well - your mind keeps ruminating about what you need to do, but doesn't know WHAT you need to do.... :(
ReplyDeleteIf a person can't sleep, it is because your mind is busy trying to figure things out, without success..... too much stress, too little peace of mind...
