I woke up and found myself lying
stretched out on a mat in front of a blaring TV in the living room one
afternoon. I looked at the clock and found that it was a few minutes
after five o'clock. I realized that I had slept for more than four hours.
I remembered starting to watch the national news at one. It was the longest
siesta I had ever taken and the best sleep I had ever experienced.
I had not been able to
sleep well after encountering post-trauma stress syndrome for a long time. My
body clock had taken over and I was only able to sleep at the most four or five
hours every night. No matter what time I went to bed, either early or
late, I would always be up at two or three o’clock in the mornings. I
would not be able to return to bed again and I would be quite lethargic all the
time the whole day.
I was elated that I had had that
long siesta. It was the most welcoming one.

If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying.
It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.
