Sleep
January 23, 2009I have this problem with falling asleep. I still recall repeatedly not being able to stay awake in college classes. I mean, it was like out of control. We’re talking front row, head bobbing repeatedly throughout the class!!
This even happened when I was auditing a class at Notre Dame last year. I was there as a professional, and I was falling asleep just like the other students.
I am reminded of this today as I received a phone call from the professor at ND and remembered my sheepish guilt and embarrassment about not being able to stay awake.
I don’t think this problem is going anywhere, unfortunately. My last night in Cali I was hanging out with friends. We were watching Chocolat with Juliette Binoche, a beautiful flick. Before I knew it, the movie was over. I had fallen into a deep deep sleep, missing about half of the movie. Oh dear.

I guess I have the opposite problem...It literally can take me hours to fall asleep, and once I wake up, I'm up, no going back to bed unless it's actually time for bed. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI do that, too. I've recently had to stop going to movies that start after 8--too late for me! I especially feel bad I slept almost the whole trip with my mom driving down to Tennessee. I missed the pretty view of the mountains. I should drive next time--that usually helps!
ReplyDeleteI know how this goes. For a while every time I watched a movie late with Kevin, I'd fall asleep. :(
ReplyDeleteWe usually start our movies earlier now!!
