Good times: I found garlic bulbs, so my little herb garden is now complete!
Bad times: The husband has been watching a DIY network and now has big plans which I'm not looking forward to.

I'm glad the naps help, and I'm glad I'm not the only person for whom naps are arguably more important than sleep at night. I felt a little lame admitting that.
😉 It's my secret superpower. LOL
I don't have the faintest what you mean. I meant car seats. 😉

Lasagna or enchiladas?
'seenafterscene' wrote on '13:Ideally, I need eight hours at least, even 6 is hard for me to function. But my schedule and reaction to said irregularities vary so much it's a constant dice roll. I was getting by on 6 for weeks…then it wasn't enough. Often, I obviously get much less sleep than 6 or 8.
One of the key things for me is that I NEED a nap during the day. Anyone else like this???
It doesn't matter if I've had zero sleep, six hours, or ten hours, if I don't get a mid-day nap, I usually spend the entire afternoon/evening tossing and turning usually heading into the night where I finally am able to sleep or take something to sleep, etc. Oddly enough, I'd say my “nap” necessity is more important to me than actual sleep at night; if I don't sleep well, I'll tend to nap earlier or longer, and can still function usually early in the day…but it's a much longer, less-functional road if I don't get a nap.
I have found that a nap is necessary for me to be able to function into the afternoon and evening. If I don't get one, my body is too wired to sleep by the time bedtime rolls on me. I could be setting myself up for failure, as well, because with a nap I won't sleep until 12 or 1. Either way, more than 5 hours a night leaves me drained and sluggish and needing two or three naps through the day. :/
