Friday Five - 3/26/10

Friday Five:

1.  How many hours’ sleep do you need in order to be at your best, and what’s the minimum you can get on a regular basis and still be functional?

To be at my best, I need eight hours.  To be functional?  I'm not sure, but it seems like six and a half is the right number.

2.  What’s your favorite sleeping position?

Curled up tight in the blanket, on my side, with my arms wrapped around me.  Actually, I change my position a few times during the night.  Sometimes flat on my back is just the right thing.

3.  What was the cause of your most recent difficulty sleeping?

The usual suspect is not wanting to go to bed because I'm distracted by whatever I'm doing.

4.  When you can’t seem to drift off to sleep right away, what are some things you do to bring about sleep?

I usually don't have a problem with that, but if I do, I try to clear my thoughts and get as comfortable as I can.

5.  When did you last doze off at an inappropriate time or in an inappropriate place?

I don't think this qualifies as 'inappropriate,' but I've dozed off while watching movies once in a while.  I also seem to do it while reading more and more.  Maybe I just need more sleep.
