I used to sleep about four to six hours a day and then maybe eight to ten on Saturday as a recovery day. Did this from about age twelve until last year. Then I started to get sick and that is when I spent four months in the hospital which if any of you have ever spent any real time in one is not a place where you can get any sleep. Between the tests, the pain, the blood draws, the doctors rounds at 6-7am every morning, random x-rays, and then of course your roommate going through the same damn thing or worse cause they scream a lot in pain. I got next to no sleep during those four months, literally to the point of being delusional with seeing crap and hearing phantom noises.
I thought it would end when I left the hospital but things only really got a little worse. I still have chronic pain so I rarely get a good nights sleep. I often am kept awake until the wee hours in deep pain. Then when I do finally pass out and yes I mean literally pass out, I will only be awoke again a few hours latter with side ripping spasm pain.
Lately on top of that though I been almost passing out while sitting in my chair (imagine a 70 year old man watching football) and like today I fell asleep last night around 10pm, I did not even begin to wake up until 9pm today.
On top of all this my damn health as recently been given a surprise turn for the not so good. I swear at times if there was karma or something I really must of like killed a few thousand children and nuns for fun.
For those of you who can sleep, do it. I so envy you all.
