The relationship between me and sleep
is like
a door and it’s ability to close.
I sleep well,
always.
I sleep on a plane
or on a train.
I sleep in bed
or on the concrete floor.
I sleep when I am stressed
or relaxed.
I sleep through alarm clocks
and security calls.
I sleep through
fire alarms
and telephones.
I sleep through it all.
Sleep comes to me,
as swimming does to a fish.
I sleep well, always.
I totally identify with the stress or relaxed sleep. I remember the days when I had a huge exam or project due, and yet I realized, what’s the point of worrying about it? There’s nothing I can do to change it now. I still need the sleep either way. Let me get my sleep and worry about it tomorrow.
zzzzz…
This insomniac wants to know your secret!
My secret, I have pracitced clearning my mind for years. Breathing, focusing on every breath and when my mind drifts to a thought… I acknowledge it and push it away imagining a white screen, fresh for the new day! It takes practice, I don’t need to practice anymore though!
Lucky you! My sleep is never long, sleep a bit, then awake for a bit, then sleep, and the cycle continues. I so wish I could sleep on a plane.
do I note a hint of another teacher coming off a week or two of Dr Seusse tributes? :)) This had a nice Seussey rhythm and I can relate, because “I sleep” too
I absolutely love Dr. Seuss, in fact my first email address was onefishtwofishredfishbluefish@ hotmail.com but I wasn’t even thinking of Dr. Seuss as I wrote this. It definitely is Dr. Seussesque though, you are right!
Honestly, you are among the fortunate. This reminded me of the rhythm of Seuss! 🙂
I can not even imagine what it is like to get the kind of sleep that you get. Enjoy it…you don’t want to know what you are missing! 🙂
You are very lucky! While I sleep well most of the time, there are nights when sleep alludes me.
