The past couple of years I have gone through a weird change in sleep habits. Most of my life I was a night owl, up late and sleeping in whenever I could. But my days and nights seem topsy-turvy now. Early to bed, reading only a chapter or two before conking out, then 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. finds me wide awake.
Butters the corgi wonders why I’m not in bed, asleep. She is NOT a morning person!
Unfortunately, I’m so tired during the days that I have not begun those two workshops that I recently won . . .
The background was sketched with the Lamy Safari and J. Herbin “Lie de The” ink. The double recliner was sketched with a Pentel Pocketbrush pen with brown ink.
This happens to me too Vicky, more often than I’d like. Often it’s due to my cat Boots jumping up on my bed or meowing at my bedroom door to come in. But it happens also if I go to bed very early because I didn’t get enough sleep the previous night. I stay in bed until at least 4 am then I knit or read. Part of me thinks it is because I’m getting older. My whole sleep schedule has been like this since I lost my hubby last September. It’s a puzzle for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love your sketch!!!

❤️ I love Boots needing you! My two cats are super independent and don’t like cuddling. Maybe it’s a normal trait of Scottish Folds.
DeleteMy weird sleep patterns began with cancer treatment. The cancer is now gone but sleep still alludes me. Maybe it’s just part of aging after all? At least there is always reading or drawing — preferably with a cup of tea.
Welcome to my world. I used to be a most excellent sleeper. Daytime, nighttime, anytime, anywhere. At best I can do four hours straight now and feel blessed when I do.
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating, isn’t it? I can always find something else to do but don’t want to wake my husband if he’s asleep — his medical problems and chronic pain means he sleeps even less than me (but on a different schedule, of course!)
