Since having babies, so over the last fifteen years or so, I have developed a rare skill of being able to snooze in the afternoon. The One o’clock News sends me to sleep everyday and I cat nap for about fifteen, twenty minutes. The midwife had ingrained in me the importance of sleeping when baby did, so I did. Trouble is, I still do. (It’s also been reported that an afternoon nap helps lower blood pressure, which has got to be good.)
Or at least, I did.
It’s eleven days since I last enjoyed a mid-day snooze. Since the Friday I travelled down to the Borders, in fact.
There has got to be a less painful way of breaking such a lovely habit.
I miss my snooze.

An afternoon nap is not a bad habit - I enjoy one every so often! :) I learned the same lesson from the midwife when I had my first one soon eight years ago, and I still often fall asleep when I'm putting our youngest one (a two year old) to her nap!
So if you miss it, snooze when you can! :)
Does feel good to recharge the battries mid-day, doesn't it?
I usually have forty winks to the background of the one o'clock news. The dawg joins me. If its a nice day, I often grab a few zzzs whilst backpacking too, although waking up thinking you're somewhere else can be interesting... Nowt wrong with it, in my view.. (unless you're driving...)
Very occasionally I slip into a sleep deep enough for a quick, vivid dream. That can cause some consternation when I wake up.
I can drop off any time i tell myself to. It's a strange phenomenon slee
zzzzzzzzzz
Pass me the nearest washing line and I'll sleep on it!
