I don&#8217;t know where mine is. Occasional middle of the night insomnia makes me think. \u00a0Before the electric light a normal night&#8217;s sleep consisted of\u00a0sleeping 3 or 4 hours, then getting up for an hour for a bit of food, sex, reading, then back to bed for another 4 hours of sleep or so. Tom Crane brought this to my attention.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wake up, hit the bathroom, then, for some reason can&#8217;t return to sleep. Or, no reason. Not ruminating tonight. That is, thinking through stuff in a manner that does not lead to action. Chewing the psychic cud I suppose from one of our mental stomachs where we store not fully digested experiences or fears or projects ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Just. Awake. The rhythm of waking up, not sleeping for a period of time, then returning to sleep till morning may well be the normal one. We assume, because each of us need 8 hours or so of sleep each day, that we should get it all at one whack. Maybe not.<\/p>\n<p>My afternoon naps supplement my nightly sleep, for example. Perhaps 3 to 4 hours at a time is what our bodies prefer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samain \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0New (Moving) Moon 3:30 a.m. Do you know where your sleep is?
