A magnificent lunar eclipse occurred in the wee hours of November 19. It peaked at 4:02 AM. Needless to say, I did not need to set an alarm. 😌

During awake time overnight, I often process difficulties insightfully, plan the next day successfully, surprise myself by discovering connections between seemingly unrelated matters, and more, yet I do know it’s unhealthy to spend 10-12 hours in the sack. I’m conflicted….🥸

Wayne, sounds like a very productive use of time to me. Me, I just have dreams that I'm late for my big interview and my clothes are ripped.

For me, this has been a lifelong issue...not particularly worse as I've aged. If you have any inclination to do any follow-up, I'd love to hear specific info on sleep meds. What problems do they actually cause besides the dependency?

I'll pull some literature for you. Apparently they interrupt the normal cycles, so the quality of sleep isn't up to par.

I tried reading the boring book technique. The book suddenly turned interesting. I stayed up for hours to finish it. (Yawn)

Oh. Then it couldn't have been by George Eliot.
