The Lion Sleeps Tonight

In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle, the Lion Sleeps Tonight

I am jealous of that blasted lion. Another night I am too restless, out of sorts to sleep. Another long night of trying to pass the time and trying to sleep every so often.. I have slept one night since I have been here on December 7. The rest of the nights have been spent awake. So during the day after therapy I collapse in exhaustion. Thankfully tomorrow is a day off from therapy so I can rest all I want. Well not really. They really try to get you awake and out of bed here as part of your recovery. My energy depleted self, with cells that do not properly produce energy, has its own limitations. I need the doctor to write for something for this headache that gets worse at night, and for anxiety or sleep. He said he would but then never did. I would give almost anything to be able to sleep.
Speaking of sleep, a lot of the elderly people here go to bed so early and wake up at still dark O'30. They start getting out of bed and getting ready for the day at 5 am. 5 am is not a time I like to see. Neither is the 6 am when they wake my butt up if I manage to fall asleep for a few minutes. Just one morning it would be nice to hold a sleep in - when everyone refuses to get up before a decent time. A minor revolt, a stand on the right to sleep. I may stage a one man revolt tomorrow.
