...a really deep sleep, and by deep, I mean you literally feel like you have just awoken from a chemically induced coma? I knew I had one in me and that it was coming sooner or later, I just had no idea that it would hit me in 3 parts. Let me explain. My sleep deprivation has been documented on here a time or two I think, so it should come as no surprise that I might be dead tired, but Wednesday night, my body had almost completely shut down when I hit the bed at around 9, which is early for me. I think I was out within 3 minutes and I did not move a single millimeter for about 4 hours and 45 minutes, when, at 1:47 am I awoke having to powder my nose...LOL I say 1:47 but it was actually earlier that I woke up because, and here is the funny part and the beginning of the 2nd part of my coma, I had to sit up on the side of my bed until I could will my eyes to open!! I was pretty conscious, conscious enough to know that I needed to pee, conscious enough to realize my eyes were not opening, and conscious enough to realize that opening my eyes would be, you know, a good thing so that I didn't kick the wall or something while trying to walk to the bathroom!! But it literally took roughly 15 minutes to get them to open!!! How crazy is that? OK, well, even crazier than that is that I fell asleep, on the potty, for about an hour because when I awoke again, allowed myself to will my eyes open once more for roughly the same amount of time, it was a little after 3 am. Once I washed my hands and stumbled my way back to the bed, I collapsed, on top of the blanket, and went through the same ritual at 545 am only there was no going back to bed that time! For the next few hours, I was a zombie. SO tired, fighting my eyes in a war to keep them alert for Buck. At around 1 pm, I snapped out of it, very refreshed and feeling the exact same way I did when I was coming out of anesthesia the million times I have come out of anesthesia. My coma seemed almost drug-induced, it was the weirdest thing, but also the best sleep I have had in months...whatever drug my body made to get me to finally sleep that well, well, I just hope I have some more of that prescription left, as long as I pee before I go to sleep...LOL
I haven't done this in a while.
