sleep?

Really?  3:30 AM and sleep eluded me.

Why?

 I took a melatonin. I went to bed on time, didn't watch those scarey shows that start after 9. OK so I didn't wear earplugs to protect me from that vibratory cacophony my hubby shares nightly (although he swears I am the noisemaker). Although sometimes I think the lack of noise is more bothersome... when he is silently dreaming the dreams only engineers find entertaining. What does that dream mean?

Yeah 3:30 AM and I am wide awake. Toss, turn, turn toss.... A trek to the bathroom, but really the argument in my brain says  that's not why I woke.  Having to pee in the middle of the night would mean I might be... older? Somehow "the new 30" doesn't equate to midnight potty break from sleep. Yeah that didn't work.  Read for 20 mins, close eyes; 10 mins reading, close eyes; then again no sleep.

By 4:30, the fight was really getting irritating.  Yes there was more snoring.  Apparently a pillow over ones husband isn't the most optimal way to drown out the noise. I tip to the couch to avoid a prison sentence.  So more reading.

Five AM, if I go back to sleep now, I will definitely be worse for the wear.  SO...maybe I will make a pot of coffee... Yeah sleep was not in the cards.

And tonight, I am not as tired as I should be. Or am I? Is it a plot?  Thank goodness the debate is on a 4th grade level and Project Runway is On Demand.

At least I was early to work, but sadly my husband, who slept the whole night (that should be written in all caps!) wants me to be ready to go to work tomorrow at the same time. I's hitting my head against the wall.
