Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 10, 2021

Ralph got tired of this cartoon…

In my mind, I hear my mom saying to my dad “Honey, it’s time to get up (from the couch where he’d fallen asleep) and go to bed.”

Doesn’t make any sense but it happens.

You’re just out of sync with your circadian rhythm.

It seems so easy to fall asleep when you don’t want to or when you need to stay awake.

… and when you really need to or try to fall asleep you can’t.

It gets worse when you are re-tired!

My life is now a cartoon for all to see.

That’s exactly what usually happens….

Not an issue i am familiar with. A shrink I was seeing decades ago after I got out of the military taught me a common relaxation method that still works today.

Spot on.

Refreshed reality?

ain’t that the truth, I have to go back turn the tv on to 30 minute sleep mode or toss and turn for an hour

Tis what happens when the bed is too comfortable. Some folk sleep better on/in and uncomfortable position. Mind they wake up in pain so it’s a trade-off.

Whoa…that could be me in today’s cartoon!

The right panel was my mom, so she routinely took sleeping pills. Now she has dementia. I’m not saying they are related, but I will never take sleeping pills.

boy that is soooooooo true

Zzzzzz

I resemble this cartoon.

I am the same way.

It is worse when the love of your life, your soulmate of 34 years dies suddenly and leaves you all alone, sleep is fitful and fleeting. It doesn’t matter where you are.

So true…

Anyone here ever nodded off over your keyboard? No? Just me?
