Thrill to the unprecedented spectacle of Tony Brown attempting to go to bed before 11 PM and sleep through the night!
If I make it, it will be the first time in a long time I’ve had an uninterrupted night of sleep.
I’m not taking Seroquel — we’re going natural for this one.
If I get up in the middle of the night, I promise to post here when I get up.
Please — place your bets! In the comments section, identify the time YOU think I’ll be awake in the middle of the night, or if I’ll make it through to 6:30 AM.
The winner (closest in absolute minutes to the time I log on) wins nothing but the admiration of a doting populace. It ain’t much, but it’s something.
Fire when ready.
ETA:
I was awake at 5:43. Close enough to a full night’s sleep! You folks who predicted I would sleep the whole night win, as do I. 😀
I’m sure it was the lullaby that did it, Ms. J. 😉

This past night…I slept in a room which, for all practical purposes, has no window. I just could not wake up. It was an amazing night of sleep.

Tony,
did you ever consider talking some hormons that might help you to rest. I mean, not narcotics, but rather hormons, things that our bodies produce naturally, except when we get mor mature (older) and we slow down a bit, Melatonin is available over the counter and it performs miracles in resetting folks bio-clock.
Bets of luck in you wonderful endevours.

Thanks, Adam.

Actually, you were the closest in absolute minutes. So you win, technically…but since you already have the love of a doting populace, I’m spreading the wealth.

folks:
i’d just like to take a moment here to point out (as insomnia rules my own night) that it’s 3:52 Albuquerque Time. which means the man has made it at least to 5:52 Upton Time. and that’s worth some warm smiling and a small round of applause, whether or not he makes it all the way to 6:30. as far as i’m concerned, tony’s won. yes.

I’m thinkin’ 2:15? But that would be me, if I actually ever went to bed before 11 myself …
Thanks for the perspective.

Stay awake, don’t rest your head
Don’t lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don’t close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow’s soft and deep
You’re not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don’t nod and dream
Stay awake, don’t nod and dream

the kneading hands of the sleep gods have informed me, via morse code, of course, that you will be up at 1:47, but only for a moment, to gaze around, wonder if you’re still dreaming, conclude that you must be, and just as the thought starts to nag that there was something you were supposed to do, to collapse again and sleep till 6:30. on the dot. sleep well.

Yeah but I want the admiration of a doting populace Tony; I crave it like like Baskin Robbins Rainbow Sherbet. Plus anything that takes place on a bed is exciting. Don’t ruin this for me man!
