I'd get more sleep if my patients would stop moaning and screaming in fearsome cries for help.

"You Sleep Less Than You Think You Do"

Only when driving...

[Dracian]

If they include the percentage of the time I fall asleep sitting at the computer, as bed efficiency time, my numbers should be able to push overal male sleep efficiency over 100%.

The article failed to mention that illegals sleep an average of 10 hours and 14 minutes a night.

Just doing the delta waving and R.E.M. Americans won't do.

control over one's sleep environment you say?

She felt vulnerable in the darkness until she snuggled up next to the pillow she fondly referred to as the “furnace“. As she slowly slipped off to sleep, thoughts of things she needed to remember for the next day popped into her mind. Errands to run, calls to make and mail to drop off all prevented her from the rest she so craved. She tossed about for a while then finally settled and drifted off to sleep.

The quiet and peace of the moment was suddenly interrupted. A heavy panting in the distance moved closer up the bed. The intruders careful steps crept up on top of her covers until she could feel the moist breath just above her face. She snuggled closer to the furnace in an effort to dodge the intruders next move a minute too late. The sloppy tongue began licking. Droplets of spit flicked her in the eye and she burrowed down deeper. When would the assault end?

In frustration she sat up and said, “ Two words, Wendy! Breath Mint! Now go find some.” With that the clumsy retriever clambered off the bed, tail between her legs, to her rightful spot on the floor.

Oh, I know I'm sleep deprived. I am frequently seen with a keyboard imprint on my face.

Don't forget the afternoon siestas.

There's a Ted Kennedy joke in there somewhere....

Pity. ;-)

Sleep? I only do that when I'm out of caffeine.
