I wish I could sleep more.

I am capable of sleeping at any time in any position — in my chair, at my desk, while editing a book. I have napped during lectures (not while teaching them) and in the car. I’m pretty sure I could sleep through the end of the world.

Left to my own devices, I could probably sleep 13 hours a day and enjoy it. I have this feeling of comfort and security if I can sleep all day. I have done recreational dreaming, honestly.

My doctor doesn’t want me to sleep over 9 hours a day. I sleep 9 hours a day easily, and although I don’t wake up tired, I could still sleep in. This will surprise my husband, because I wake up at 5:00 every morning totally refreshed. But I could sleep longer, given an excuse. Any excuse.

Is it naptime yet?

I wish I could write more. That doesn’t mean I never have enough time to write. Sometimes, something else gets in the way.

Sometimes it’s my focus and I find myself taking a detour on the Internet. Sometimes it’s negative self-talk that makes me not want to write. Sometimes it’s too much to think about.

Today it’s my iPad is down to zero and is recharging very slowly. I can’t always do something about it.
