Can't sleep

Have I mentioned lately that I love living in the Puget Sound region?  I really do – I love the temperate climate, the green, the water, the hills, etc.  But some days I just hate the sun.  I’ve been up since about 5:15 this morning and can’t fall back asleep.  I’ll have to look up somewhere when sunrise is officially, but whenever it is, it was just too damn bright out there at that time and my body refuses to go to sleep unless it’s really dark.  Okay so maybe today I’m just in a grumpy mood!  After all in how many places do you know that it’s light out from 5 in the morning to 10 at night all summer long?

So I’m up and have been reading my email and checking those sites that haven’t gotten on the bandwagon…

# re: Can't sleep

i know how you feal, but its the opposite way around here. i cant get to sleep! im up for work at about 6am and usually get into bed around 8-9, maybe 10pm. if i get into bed at 8pm, its still bright out and its a pain trying to sleep! same with the weekends. i usually stay in bed till about 12pm if i can, and if i wake at about 6am, im screwed for about 2 hours! :( not fun. though being able to catch up on emails and check the news before your even officially meant to be out of bed is allways good. leaves you a lot of the day to do other things...

Of course Northern Europe :-) Which does remind me of the summer I spent in Moscow where it seemed like there was only 4 or 5 hours total of darkness. That was a blast, drinking vodka all day long especially when it was a long day....

Go to Bed, Bath & Beyond, Linens & Things or something else similar...

Buy Blackout Curtains.

They're really cool, and will make even the most security-lit apartment complex bedroom a nice warm comfy cave.
