If I was a real one I wouldn't mind being awake, but as I don't have feathers or a penchant to catch and eat mice, being awake into the early hours isn't my cup of tea, especially when I need to get up early in the morning. I do function okay on just a few hours sleep, but I do worry that I am being damaged by this. As for sleeping pills, I wouldn't give them the time of day. My bed and room are comfortable, and I avoid the usual caffeine in the evenings. I've come to the conclusion that it's no good simply laying in bed worrying about not sleeping, I may as well get up and do some reading with a dim light. One place I do fall asleep is in my armchair, which is a recliner - I could live in that chair and beginning to believe I might have to! Steed did try to help, but .. a bit drastic.
