I've averaged 5 - 6 hours a night for the last month, and my body is crying out for more. I know there are those (new parents, medics, low-sleep-maintenance types) who'd snort and say: Who needs more than 5 hours a night? I do. I love sleep. It's both necessity and luxury. Tomorrow, I leave for the annual conference of the National Performance Network, which selected Migritude for a Creation Fund Award this year. I am unlikely to catch up on sleep there. posted by shailja at 6:55 PM 0 Comments: Post a Comment Links to this post: <$BlogBacklinkTitle$> <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link << Home Previous Posts world premiere 20 hours: final pre-show posting 44 hours: stay with what is the suitcase will be opened Signs 3 days: gives me butterflies 4 days: collaboration You have been more than the tree we looked to Just had a sharp pang of missing 6 days: almonds and throat coat tea
