Sleep


I'm always amazed at how well I sleep when Martin isn't in bed next to me. I always think when he's gone away that I'll probably have a difficult time getting to sleep. Nope.

Last night I had some of the best sleep I've had in months. Martin is an extremely active sleeper. He talks, moves, gestures, tosses,(and yes snores on occasion even though he'll tell you he doesn't) all night.

I used to sleep through anything and then after I got married thought that my sleeping patters have just changed with age. I honestly thinks it's testimony to the fact that martin might just be the most active sleeper on the planet. I closed my eyes last night and didn't open them until 8:30 this morning; really, it was like 8.5 hours happened in a blink. Pure heaven.

Here's a cool sleep fact: whales and dolphins can literally fall half asleep. Their brain hemispheres alternate sleeping, so the animals can continue to surface and breathe. I think when martin is sleeping next to me, half of my brain hemisphere is awake at all times.

Aw! So funny and yet not at all! I always get my good sleep when Jeremy gets out of bed in the morning to read. I hear his alarm and get excited. I almost want to push him out of bed. I hate when he hits snooze. You guys Need a KING size bed.
