This morning in a strange turn of events I woke up an hour earlier than I had to. It was a simple mistake on my part, I forgot to review my schedule last night before going to bed. Since the main reason for my getting up relatively early is to trek down to Chinatown to have someone stick needles in my extremities fro relaxation I am surprised that I leapt out of bed with such purpose. It appears as though I may have gotten a good night's sleep and was for the first time in weeks well rested.
I have never been good at sleeping. I could never fall asleep easily as a child. Out of frustration I used to bang my head against the mattress in the hopes of knocking myself out. It usually worked before I got a headache. As an adult I substitute watching late night 1 hour dramas for the head banging; the effect is basically the same.
Still last night I managed to fall asleep quickly without a Law and Order (CI of course, I just can't stand the USA generated CI) marathon, booze or a visit from that little dayglo pharma butterfly. So I had to think about what made yesterday different from the days proceeding the sleepless nights. The only difference I could think of was that last night I had a late gig before which I ran 4 miles at the gym. So basically if I want to get a good nights sleep I need to book at least a 7 minute set in a evening comedy show and become a marathon runner.
No problem. Great! Why couldn't that Lunesta have worked?
