I got the feeling I'll be drowsy but awake in bed for about an hour before falling asleep. I usually sleep pretty good.
What a coincidence, just last week I remarked to my wife how peacefully I sleep these days in the nine months since I retired.
All my life I have been both a night owl and an early riser, resulting in four hours of sleep having been my norm for approximately the last twenty years. People were horrified to learn that tidbit about me, and they’d often give their prophecies that it would all catch up to me someday. Well, I’m also extremely hyperactive, so I believe it was innate my lack of need for extended hours of sleep yet still awakening well-rested and energetic. In other words, it never ”caught up with me” like the naysayers thought it would. Nine months later, my sleep schedule is about double the hours I was accustomed to getting for twenty years, with bouts of daytime snoozing thrown in every now and then.
Tonight probably won’t be very different than other nights: I will most likely sleep well (the grammatically correct phrase to use, as opposed to ‘sleep good’).
