no! don't sleep yet!

Last night I couldn't get to sleep. It was close to 2:30 when I finally sang "nighty night" and drifted off to dreamland.

I've been having really good luck getting to sleep lately and I don't know what was so different about last night. Somehow my brains kept saying, "No! Not yet! There's something missing! Something you're not doing! You're going to want to be awake later on!"

What those things are, I really couldn't say. But the rest of me could certainly say it.

I will try going to sleep early tonight. Perhaps if I start early, the hours it takes to fall asleep will have transpired already.

Oh, and I'm taking a class and we always end using meditation. The new girl in the class already rubs me the wrong way. And she fell asleep during meditation. And snored. Snored! We were meditating, I wanted to be peaceful, but she was lying on the floor at my feet and I can't even begin to describe the kind of self-restraint it took for me to not kick her pillow really hard or to yank it out from under her head.

I do usually think those things, but the thought usually go away pretty fast. I think part of the problem is that I didn't sleep well. And then there's her, lying on the floor asleep. Punk. I'd like to pull that damned pillow out from under her head.
