Thoughts I have Before Falling Asleep 1

The fan whirs quietly in the dark room. I hear the puppy snoring and pray to God that dog stays quiet for the rest of the night—because I need my sleep. It’s time to sleep. I close my eyes. Then open my eyes.

Right, I should be sleeping. I forgot.

I close my eyes again. I think about sleeping. I imagine myself sleeping. I’m jealous of the imagination of myself sleeping. I look so peaceful.

Then a thought pops to mind, and another. Strange thoughts, but great ones. Some even ingenious ones.

You’re going to stretch soon and attempt to wake up, you tell yourself. You’ll go to the kitchen and brew some coffee. You’re going to go take a shower and soon you’ll be wide awake.

Sleep Is Good, Sleep Is Great

One of the ladies in my church choir made a truly profound statement. She said that all teenagers need sleep.

I cocked my head at this. I would think that we’re supposed to be running on empty the younger we are, and as the complaints and fatigue increase, sleep more as we grow older.

But the lady who made the statement has several teenagers at home. She knows what she’s talking about. .

No, it doesn’t make sense to me, this great mystery of sleep. I haven’t cracked the code. These are just my thoughts and experiences on the subject.

Maybe we’ll all take a nap later.
