Where am I?

# Chapter 324

Sleep so deep that you don’t know where you are when you wake up. While I am not a fan of waking up and not knowing where I am, for that kind of sleep I would be willing to do it. Every. Night. There are far too few nights like that. Most of the time we aren’t physically tired enough, too emotionally cranked up, too mentally grinding and too scheduled to even get close to this kind of sleep. However, after the day I had yesterday I was just so physically beat up and tired that I collapsed into bed and I am pretty sure that I did not move for the first six hours I was lying there, since I woke up the the exact same position I laid down in. Got up and took care of the necessary and went right back to bed and slept three more hours.

The speed of my brain when I wake up from a sleep like that, is so much faster and energetic than most mornings, and mornings are already my best time of the day. Harnessing that speed and energy are the challenge, to get more than just feel good benefit out of it. Since it happens so rarely, and since it happened at my dad’s house, its too rare and noisy here to figure out the leverage point. But it is wonderful to report that I had that kind of sleep last night. Rest rest rest is what your body is longing for and only you can create the situation where it might get it.
