So the other day I slept for 3 hours. Then I woke up spoke to Matt, then laid down and woke up and was like ahhh what time is it? looked at my clock and I was like wait what…I slept for 16 hours.
I don't know how, or why, but I did. I haven't had more than four hours sleep in 6 years.
Anything odd like this ever happen to anyone else?
Wow, that's incredible. I think this is definitely an area of insomnia that needs further research – what suddenly triggers us to sleep for such extended periods of time?
It'd be interesting to see if this happens to other members, and how often.

It's odd, but since we moved to this house near San Jose CA, I have slept a great deal more. This summer I had more days than not where I finally fell asleep, and stayed that way for 9+ hours. I'd get up for a few hours, go to take a nap that lasted 2-3 hours, get up for dinner, and then go to bed between 10 and midnight, and start over again. We said that the dogs were generating “sleepyons”: the elemental particle of sleep.
In my case, it may have been 1) poor blood sugar control 2) medication interactions 3) a bit of depression 4) not wanting to do what needed to get done 6) the sheer joy of being able to sleep, or a little of all of them.
