I was woken up at 4 something am last night by an earthquake. And there are things earthquake related that are now on my mind but this post is more about the sleep disturbance.
I was woken from flat out sleep by the shaking and rattling and that came with a huge surge of adrenaline and whatever other "flight/fight" hormones come with.
It took about an hour of sitting in my living room for my system to start to calm down and then about another hour or so in bed to try to fall asleep again.
I'm writing this about 12 hours later just to say I don't think I could survive having, oh, say, a child or pet right now that woke me up at all hours of the night. I'm such a wreck today and even after two cups of tea this morning my day felt like a total writeoff. I, apparently really really need my sleep and a rude awakening with huge fear (as opposed to, I suppose a night where you just can't sleep or stay asleep) does not an ok next day make.
See, this post doesn't even get across what I'm trying to say which is like I don't think I could survive having a baby right now. Sleep wise. Not that that's an issue. Or anything. OMG I'm tired. And older. Aged. Ok. I'll shush up now.
