Sweet Dreams

Today's blog prompt at Digital Scrapbook Place asked me to describe my sleeping habits--an easy topic, since yesterday's prompt was so intense.

I've always been a belly-sleeper, with one leg cocked up and both arms under the pillow...guess my mother didn't believe in SIDS. Funny, because she's a back-sleeper. She sleeps perfectly still so as not to mess up hair or make-up. Not so with me: I must wash my face nightly or will end up washing the pillow daily. Also, I have naturally wavy hair that that must be tied up in elastic at bedtime. This is because (a)I can't tolerate my hair between my neck and a cold pillow and (b)I have scared children with my hair in the morning.

I am not a choosy sleeper. Light and noise and temperature rarely make much difference to me, which is good because I work a 3rd shift part time job.

My only requirement is that I must sleep under the covers. I can't relax without the security of a blanket shielding me from the dangers of the outside world.

Typical apparel would generally consist of a wife-beater or sports bra, and boxer shorts or pajama pants.

I am not an insomniac. I sleep like a well-fed 5 year old.
