The Art of Sleeping

I know people who for whatever reason, just cannot sleep.

Jo wrote a whole blog about it.

Others are just very particular sleepers:

• The receptionist at work cannot sleep if there is a single crack of light coming through the window.
• Meg only sleeps on one side of her body
• Kristin often requires Gregorian chants (from headphones, not live)
• Justin doesn't like sleepovers 'cause of his love for his home bed
• Both Nolan and Liam McCallister (campers) are both plagued with constant night terrors
• Another camper, Daniel, can only sleep in until 7am, almost no matter what

In terms of sickening insomnia, see The Machinist, where a 120-pound Christian Bale hasn't slept in over a year.

Stumbled upon this topic after taking a 25-minute break (instead of a 15) by accident due to falling asleep on a cement bench in front of my building. I set my cel phone alarm and everything...but I just totally passed out. I'm thankful that I can sleep with such ease.

(Then, there's the whole pooing with ease thing...but I can express extended appreciation for that gift another time.)
