Refreshing

[sillygoosegirl]

For the first time in... at least a month or two... I woke up feeling really refreshed and well rested. Furthermore, I did it not only before the alarm went off (because I pushed it back an hour), but also only 7 minutes after the alarm would have gone off if I hadn't moved it. Even though I decided to stay in bed and relax for a goodly long while and give Josh a back rub, I was still at work earlier than I was yesterday.

Sleeping through the night rocks. I should do it more often. I should endeavor to be in a physical, mental, and emotional state condusive to it more often. Also, I think it helped that we ran the AC all evening, bringing the temperature of the bedroom down to 65 degrees, and then turned off the AC and didn't open the window or turn on the fan when we went to bed... so it was both cool and QUIET all night.

Me too. I woke up at 5:58, two minutes before our alarm, and actually felt awake for once. I didn't actually get out of bed until seven, but I still felt much better than usual. We had the AC on last night too instead of having the windows open. I would think it was related, but I've had trouble waking up with the AC on before too (and we only cool our house down to 77).

Sleeping through the night is awesome...I only manage to do it a couple times a year (though I've slept through thunderstorms with 70mph wind...I'm strange). If you figure out the secret of how to do this more often I'd be interested.
