#sleep things

Its not a dream, bc sometimes it happens when Ive just closed my eyes. It doesn't feel like vertigo or anything like that. The "impression" is like a giant, looming thing like a planet, which then shrinks down to something like a tiny apple core.

Both the hypnogogic hallucinations and this size change thing used to happen all the time when I was a kid. Now its less frequent, but the size change thing just happened today when I tried to take a nap.

My mistake? I was thinking, “It’s cold as heck outside, I should blanket-burrito myself.”

And then I would maneuver it so my feet were sticking out the bottom, because I was too hot.

Even then, I was too warm, but felt that I needed to be covered.

Last night I realized...I’m often cold in bed during the summer, because our AC is on.

This time of year, the heat is on (with apologies to Glenn Frey).

Yesterday afternoon, as I was sleeping before work, I realized that I should eschew the blankets and sleep without them. Let the heater keep me warm, but not so warn that I spend my night waking up over and over again in discomfort from the heat.

It worked like a charm.

This is the third time this has happened since I started working with the dogs.
