Monday Meme
Ok since it's technically Monday... here it is.
Monday Meme 7 : 2005-07-04 : Sweet Dreams
1. What do you wear to bed? Do you share a bed with anyone?
I don't usually wear anything, I hate having things twisting around my body as I turn in bed. No, I sleep alone in a single bed. I ocassionally have a cat down at the foot, or by my side.
2. How many hours of sleep do you get per night on average? How much sleep do you need to feel 100% rested?
I like to get seven or so. I'm ok on five. Less than that I can take only occasionally. I've also noticed that when I've been drinking, my brain goes into hyperdrive, and wakes me up after an hour or two, and then I'm wide awake until about an hour before I have to get up. I can usually fall asleep in 5-10 minutes, but I take forever to wake up. Definitly a night person.
3. Describe your bed... What kind of sheets do you have? Is there a headboard? What does it face?
Single bed. Bookcase headboard (with books and CDs for the clock radio); no footboard, I'm too tall, my feet stick off the end. It's along a wall with a table next to it for water or pill bottles, klenex etc. My sheets are usually plain blue cotton. Occasionally in winter, Flannel.
4. Do you watch TV in bed? Do you read in bed? Any other non-sleep activities?
I don't have a TV in the bedroom. I do, however, do a lot of computer things on the laptop in bed. And yes, I do quite a bit of reading in bed. I usually have at least two books going at once. One in the bedroom, and one in the "auxiliary reading room".
5. What environment do you need to sleep comfortably (sounds, temperature, darkness, etc...)?
I've noticed a change in my sleep habits. I used to be able to sleep in light, with my arm over my eyes. Now I can only do that if I'm exhausted. I like to have a breeze. I have a fan with a timer to go off about an hour before I wake up, to help me wake up. But because of the breeze, I also need to have at least a sheet over me. I don't mind a radio playing, as long as it's music, and preferably instrumental. I listen to NPR at home. Evenings are Echoes, until midnight, then the BBC until morning. I can sleep to Echoes, but not the talking on BBC. Either way, the radio has to shut off before too long, say an hour at most, or it'll wake me up again.
Hmm. Although the title is Sweet Dreams, there were no questions about dreams. I don't dream. Well, I probably do, I just don't remember them often. Every once in a while. I've already mentioned my occasional penchant for sleepwalking, and the joke about the duck. What happened was that in my dream, I heard this joke about a duck. I woke up Wife with my laughing. It was the funniest joke I'd ever heard. She asked what it was, and I said that I'd tell her in the morning, and to ask me about the duck. Of course, the next morning, I had absolutely NO recollection of the joke, only a vague one about telling Wife to remind me in the morning. Strange. Wish I remembered it. I only recall that it was hilarious.
