I have a love hate relationship with sleep. I love it when I am asleep, but I fight so hard to stay awake! I have been like since I was born (I think??, well thats my mum tells me). I remember still being awake at midnight while everyone else was snoring in bed. I used to find being the only one awake, scary and lonely as a child.
But now I relished in it...
My husband and children are fast asleep. I am fully awake, even though I am tired and exhausted after a busy day. My head is throbbing and I can’t stop yawning. But yet I am sitting here on the computer reading blogs, listening to music with a glass of red in my hand thinking of editing more of my pictures for tomorrow’s blog post or maybe reading another chapter in my book. I just don’t want to sleep; I am enjoying the peace and solitude.
Once I give into sleep I will awake into another day of chaos, where everyone wants and needs something from me. I prefer these moments I am enjoying on my own right now. And I don't want to give them up!

Me too, Kelly. My favourite time of the day. I love this time to myself.
I just get up in the morning (5am, no doubt) and down a couple of cups of coffee, then do it all over again!
hehe, so I'm not the only one :)

I have absolutely no ability to stay awake when I'm tired!
I am an owl. My body refuses to go to sleep before midnight no matter how tired I am. And I have to awaken at 5am.
I really need a job with better owl hours.
I love sleep - I just wish I could get 8 uninterrupted hours! There's a certain point and I have just got to go to bed...like now! Goodnight :)
Sometimes I stay up for this very reason, just for some solitude. Ahh!!
I remember saying this exact thing to my husband once. He laughed his head off and thought I was joking.
I am an insomniac - I wasn't joking.
I'm just like you at the moment. I'm trying to reverse the pattern though so I go to bed early and get up at 5am. I cherish the "me" time, but I'm more productive and motivated in the mornings.
I am a sleeper, but I go through periods where I am exactly this way. I don't want to go to sleep b/c once I wake it's not MY time anymore. So I've been doing the exact same thing lately...staying up way past the point of tired, doing things I enjoy, just for me. I get you, Kelly. :)
I like them so much, too. I'm usually a huge nightowl but this morning I was up at 5:30 and just relished the stillness and the jumpstart on the day, it was refreshing :) (i doubt it will be repeated much though!)
