It is not a new phenomenon for me to go a few days without sleeping. I have had sleepless nights regularly for as long as I can remember. The only difference is that as I get older I can put the time to better use (last night I cleaned 2 of our 4 bathroom floors!) and find humor in the situation. Last night Shane and I were talking before going to sleep. He went to sleep and immediately started to snore. I decided to read for a while and turned out the light about an hour later. Shane rolled over and was quieter but the dog had started to snore by then. I tried to doze off but the noise was too much so I threw a pillow at the dog! That didn't go as planned because then the dog was at my side to take him downstairs to go out. I was finally able to get back in bed with the light out around 3am. The house was silent at that point so obviously I laid there trying to be sure everyone was still breathing!
