Sleep

My love for sleep has been a long loving relationship. It has lasted my whole life! My mom has always told me I could always sleep long periods of time, and would be very hard to get up in the mornings. Before having my daughter I could easily sleep 10+ hours. Now I can't sleep more than 8hours.
My body has this internal clock that tells me, I have to be up in order to feed and dress Hannah. I will only sleep 8 hours even when I'm sick and can't move. Those times I wake up sick I may be in bed but I'm awake. It takes me longer now to recover from being sick than it did when I was younger. I have asked my doctors why that is and all they tell me is that some people need more sleep than others.
I still have a relationship with sleep. As I'm sure every one does. Its just not as loving as it use to be. Now I'm so busy I don't have enough hours in the day to get every thing done, if I sleep even the normal 8 hours.
I have found that I am sleeping less and less but am able to still function on the fewer hours of sleep. My brain still thinks as it did before and I would love to sleep more but thats just not vesible. I hope every thing slows down and I am able to get more sleep in the future. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
