Sometimes I wonder about myself...

I had an interesting conversation with my father in law the other day...He insisted that I sleep as much as I do, only because it is a habit. I HIGHLY disagree.. My mom has ALWAYS had all of her kids on a schedule, especially with sleep. If I don't get my sleep, I am not happy (to say the least). For all of you who know me, you can attest that that is the absolute truth. However, I am not the only one in my family that is like that. ALL of my siblings are the same way, so are my parents, even my grandparents...but still I am told it is only a habit. Tim really struggled with this when we first got married...he still gets annoyed (I think he hides his annoyance most of the time) but is getting better and understands that life in general will be better if he just leaves me alone and lets me sleep. When I get sick, my need is even more...If I take naps during the day, I always get better faster. When I tried to mention my theory to Tom, he wouldn't even hear it. He is a military man who wakes up at 6 am whether he likes it or not..it doesn't make sense to him. If I could, I would probably sleep at least 10 hours a day... I don't even know where this rampage came from today..maybe it was the fact that I slept better last night then I have in a month, and of course it just has to be on the day that I have to actually get up and go to school before I go to work...I hate mornings. If you want to see me happy, don't see me in the mornings...

Ang don't listen to them. You are right. You need AT LEAST 7 hours of sleep and its ok to have 9. And if you are me you can have 10. But sleep is even more needed when you are sick... I get more sleep now and I don't get sick as much. Imagine that.... crazies.

Ange, I am the exact same way and I just don't understand it. I could sleep all day if I don't have to wake up and I am VERY grumpy if I don't get enough sleep. I think some people just need more sleep than others. :)
