apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I like 1/2 hour before bed to read, 9 hours of beauty sleep and 1/2 hour to wake up. What do I actually get? 5 minutes to read before I fall asleep, 7 hours of sleep until my dog decides it's time to get up and the 1/2 to wake up...I take that at my desk at work.

But this morning, my blessed pup slept until 8am. I almost cried with happiness.

I make an effort to get an hour of reading in bed before I sleep. I generally sleep for about 7-8 hours and then lounge in bed for another hour before I actually get up.
I do a pretty good job of getting to bed before I pass out, but I'm not so good at leaving myself the time to lounge in bed in the morning, but I do it anyway. :)

in the months since the tv moved from the bedroom to the living room, my habits have totally changed. i can definitely find myself in bed early, sneaking in for some reading time. my sleep is long and uninterrupted by commercials for late nite poker and i give myself a long lead time in the am to stretch n snooze.

lifelong insomnia grad school = an average of 5 hours (on a good day) of actual sleep, but since bed is my favorite place, I try to spend as much time as possible in there reading and drinking tea

Nothing re-energizes, calms and renews like a good 8-9 hour snooze, not to mention everything that gets worked through and out with that dedicated dream time. Plus, a day starts better with a few moments of lawling and breathing.

I need only 5-6 hours of sleep (don't ask and I won't tell) but I do love the short time I have before passing out. I literally pass out since I run 8-9 miles 5-6 days a week.

There's nothing more fun than jumping in bed with stuff like books, magazines or my PSP/DS to cozy up to. Oh..and my TV has been disconnected for 2 years.
