Deep Conversations...and Fish?

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

This last week has been filled with lots of exciting events, such as my mom coming to visit me, and my roommate and I becoming fish parents! The only problem with the fish, is that at night the air compressor is actually really loud, and not very rhythmic, so unfortunately I am not lulled to sleep by it, but rather kept up by it.  So my ability and sleep quality have both been compromised by the newfound "joys" of parenthood.  Also, I have long been awaiting seeing my mom, so the anticipation alone kept me up with excitement (until the next day, because then I was not that excited or happy).  This lack of sleep has also been accompanied by some strange sleep habits.  My roommate has informed me that I held a conversation with her in my sleep, one that I do not remember.  I can make the guess that since I have been talking in my sleep a lot lately, I have not been in REM sleep as much, which I would like to blame as the cause of my lower Spanish grade (because I didn't get to enhance my memory in my limited amount of REM sleep). I have spent more time in NREM, which hopefully has refortified my body from my lack of sleep.  I did notice my sleep debt, Friday night, because I slept especially well that night and woke up very refreshed. Fingers crossed that our fish live and I can sleep through the night without interruption! Here is a link to a picture of our tank--->  Name suggestions would be lovely, the little one is Sharkbait, but the larger one is still up in the air!

Sweet dreams & SWS!

P.S.
I recently invested in a dreamcatcher, so hopefully it keeps the nightmares away!

  1. I had the same problem during the summer with my turtle's filter, which in fact his/her name is shark bait as well. I found that once I became accustomed to the sound and started sleeping through the noise and I then moved into the dorms, I found the absence of the sound kept me from falling a sleep as well. Weird. Hopefully you used this weekend to catch up on your sleep!
