Well, I actually had something resembling a good night's sleep last night so I'm pretty happy right now. I'm certainly more awake and alert anyway.

As you may have guessed sleep is indeed a theme in my life right now. Aside from the usual not enough/too much dilemma and wondering just how much longer the matress has before it needs replacing something has been bugging me, and it really stands out above all the rest.

My bed is empty!

I find this problem a little strange actually. My bed is the place where I can stretch out the day. I put various limbs in all kinds of angles in an attempt to rewind the muscle memory of sitting in front of a computer screen for so much of the day and things like that. This means I enjoy my space. Shouldn't I be overjoyed that my bed is solely for my enjoyment?

When a certain someone is in the same bed as me it's a certainty that I will spend pretty much the whole night in a position which does nothing to ease my muscles no matter what I was doing that day. The extra body heat makes me burn up, but the covers get whisked away and I freeze too. I get hair up my nose and/or in my mouth so I find breathing less fun than it should be. In short my sleep sucks when I'm not alone.

The thing is though there are times when my bed feels lonely. Previously when I've noticed this it's been something I can just accept and get on with resting. The gaps have given me enough of a cushion to cope, but lately this feeling is coming too frequently. I guess it's because my bed has been empty for too long. I need to try and remedy this problem.
