Sleep... who needs it

Well another night of fun and follicks, as come 2.30am I was still wide awake and fretting that I couldn't sleep properly for the third night in a row.
However by 3am I had decided what was the point of worrying as it wasn't as if I had to go to work or had anything major to do like save the world and at that point, I fell asleep.
Was it the fact that it was the fear of not sleeping that was keeping me awake, when the act of two fingers up at the insomnia, was what I needed to relax enough for sleep to come to me?

I suppose it comes back to accepting what you can and can't change. Although saying that, I hope that I don't have another bad night, as after changing the TV channels looking for something to watch, I found out how easy it is to buy something on the late night QVC shopping channel... Boredom comes at a price obviously and thank goodness it was out of stock!

Strangely enough, but I was still up relatively early this morning and was quite alert which is a miracle for me, apart from catching my car key in my ear at one point and treading my my oxygen tubes more than normal.
I did start to feel very sleepy about lunchtime which can be dicey, as I fell asleep at mother's yesterday about this time and I don't think that helped with my bad nocturnal habits. Plus when I woke up from my nap, my mother was a kip in exactly the same sitting position as myself in the chair next to me. We looked like a pair of bookends!
I am an old fart!
So my answer to stop myself from falling asleep again like an oldie, was to go off to the cinema of course.
It felt very decadent going to the cinema in the afternoon, especially after I had lied to my mother about where I was going. Lordy, I'm nearly 55 for goodness sake, if I want to go to the cinema in the afternoon, then why not? Mind you I'm still not telling her!
There was only five cinema goers watching my chosen film and it was really quite uplifting with quite a lot of 'Ahhh' moments in it. I came away with a nice warm glow about me, especially as Julia Roberts is now showing signs of her age... Hoorah!

Well I am yawning now, so that's a good sign as it's only 12.32 am. Time for a cup of chamomile tea and a couple of chapters of my book and hopefully as it's cool I should drift off easily.
I've had a fairly stress free day, seeing friends this morning, cinema with Tom Hanks this afternoon and a handbag party tonight when I got three presents for others and one shopping bag for myself.
A good day.

Lots of love Debbie x
