I'm fully programmed to sleep in 1 hour increments. It's going to take YEARS before I can sleep normally again, with or without the bunny's sleep antics. And yeah, I know that guy from my hometown in the UK. I went to see him a couple of times. He's kind of a trippy guy. Ami - thanks for your comment. Gosh, that's terrible about your son, but hopefully he will soon make a full recovery and you will all sleep better now! Lisa – yep. I’m fully programmed to sleep in 1 hour increments.

I am a writer as well, but a technical/grant writer. My 18 month old son has only slept 9 nights the entire way through his whole life and last week we had his tonsils and adenoids removed because they were too big and when he laid down his airway was blocked and woke him up frequently. It also caused drainage problems with his ears, tonsil infections, and constant runny noses. It is too early to tell if the surgery will help the sleep issue but the drainage is much better and draining how it is supposed to. SO, I sure do feel your pain and really hope that awful feeling goes away for you soon. It is really a bad feeling to never feel rested, ever. Those spiritualist are full of shit.

Sometimes, getting to bed early is more important to me than doing anything else (I miss my "alone" time, but sometimes I've got to). Perhaps the suckiest part is that my body is so used to waking up regularly, I find that I wake up whether the kid does it or not. "They" say it takes a while for our bodies to get used to the opportunity to sleep... That sleep deprivation story is pretty amazing. You saw him in person during that?
