WHY ARE YOU UP ?? - Page 3

Since my mom passed away I don't sleep well. I am not used to being in the house alone. I never used to be up to see the TSV or the late night talk shows but now I see it all.

In the beginning the silence is deafening. I promise that it will get better with time.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I don't get much sleep because for 9 years my mother lived with us ... she had Alzheimer's and would roam around the house at all hours of the nite ... I slept with one eye open and my ears cocked so that I could hear her when she started roaming ... I would get between 4-5 hours of sleep, but I was younger then ...

My mother is no longer with us, but I still only get 4-5 hours sleep ... I don't fight it ... I just find something to do ...

I took care of both of my parents for a long time and I know what it's like to sleep with one eye open. Even though they are both gone now, my sleep is sporadic at best so I make the most of it. If my body says go to sleep, I go. And if I am then up during the night, I make the best of it. I do try and stay quiet so maybe I can sneak in another hour or two. I am lucky that I am not groggy during the day.
