Timing

It's not the number of times Barbara wakes me up at night; it's the intervals. Last night I was reading in bed. I turned the light out at 1:00 am. She called me at about 2:00 am. And 20 minutes to 4. And just after 6. And about 7. And at 8, when she wanted to get up.

I figure it takes a minimum of 10 minutes for me to fall asleep again. Each call takes about 15 minutes. So last night, I slept for 5 hours, 20 minutes, interrupted four times.

No wonder I'm cranky. And tired.

Oh, by the way: since she came upstairs at 8, she's been sleeping. I haven't.
