I feel bad.

[loracs]

I fell asleep last night around 10:30 pm.  I should have gotten up around midnight, taken my meds and put stonebender to bed.  Instead, dispite his calling me many, many times, I continued to sleep until 6:00 am!  Yep, poor guy just went to sleep around 7 am.  He thought about just staying up, but he knew he'd crash really bad at some point, plus it's not good for his butt to sit so many hours.  Now I just have to get him up at a reasonable time so we can get back to something resembling a "normal" schedule.  On weekdays he has to get up between 8 and 9 am when his attendant gets here.  Even if I didn't have to go to work, I have to be up by 8 am because his attendant is coming.  

I hate when I crash so bad like that - nothing gets me up.  I can even sleep through the phone ringing.  And the alarm clock - forget it. I know it's a combination of sleep deprivation and my blood sugar numbers - this happens mostly when they are high.  And they were.  And they are.  I just fixed a burger and ate it open face on sourdough bread with tomato and avocado.  That and a handful of pills = my breakfast.  I guess I'm up for the day.  It feels weird to be awake when stonebender is sleeping.

Don't feel any worse than you can help, sweetie; it's not something you do, it's something your body does to you.

At the same time, it would be awfully good to have some solution. Can he get Gillie to come jump on you? Would that work? (I'm at least half serious.) Or could dbubley, who is somewhat more mobile, come bump into you?

If dbubley is awake and hears him call me, she will phone me until I wake up. Or once she came and knocked on the bedroom window. Last night she went to bed around 11 pm, so she didn't hear him.

Yes, Gilly jumping on me would wake me up. I don't know if he's tried getting her excited enough to do that - maybe it's something for us to work on. We need one of those air horns they use in sports - I'm sure if he could set one of those off, I'd wake right up!

Ya but not a good way to wake up might give you a heart attach!

more hugs, and strong encouragement for you not to beat yourself up.

you've been wanting to readjust your sleep cycle, and it will have to be a dual effort, but I think your body gave you a clear message.

I'm also wondering if you were strapped in, so to speak, during that long "nap."

teaching Gilly to jump up and lick you awake will be a fun training task. I'll help!

Yes, I had my cpap on. I know when I lay down, that I will sleep at least an hour or two, so I put it on. What I didn't expect was a 7.5 hour nap!
