I have had problems with sleep my whole life, except for a short period of my life. It comes and goes, but mostly I deal with it by staying up late until I am ready to sleep, or I fall asleep, wake up briefly, and then I go to bed. If I do anything to really wake myself up, then I cannot go back to sleep.
Circumstances have not helped. I have been staying up late for various reasons: We had a Catholic Charities board meeting that lasted until 9 PM, and it took me several hours to unwind. I stumbled upon an old, old version of Pride and Prejudice, I stayed up late to watch Hurricane Harvey https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/us/hurricane-harvey.html?mcubz=1 make landfall and some of the aftermath. That was last night.
So, this morning, I woke up at 7 AM, thinking I was late for work. I started getting ready to get a shower, and then thought about it. I checked my cell phone, and sure enough, it was Saturday morning. I went back to bed, and slept until almost 10 AM, unheard of for me, but not so much lately, since I have not been sleeping well.
I need to work on changing my sleep pattern.
