the power of 10…
ok. i admit it. i am sleep-deprived…of my own making. (rough life when you’re dating…)
i’m HAPPY about most of it…when it’s happening…but 6 am comes early these days. so i have discovered the power of 10–not like a magnification, but a power nap–and i do mean power.
i hit the after lunch sleepies around 2 every afternoon that i am fighting sleep deprivation. and they hit back. hard.
writing stories about death and dying is very hard to do when my eyes keep slamming shut and i nod off mid-sentence. hard to keep a train of thought going…cuz i keep drifting off.
what i have discovered is that when i am home, and the afternoon sleepies hit, i settle down for a nap, intending to sleep long and hard…and instead, i wake up 10-15 minutes later, recharged and refreshed. consistently.
so, i have evidently learned the power of 10…and boy, do i need one now.
