Sweet dreams are made of this

[j4]

Went to bed not long after 10pm last night, and didn't wake up till about 10am this morning. I think I needed the sleep. And I had a really lovely dream about somebody who I've loved (unrequitedly, but not unhappily so, if you see what I mean) for nearly a decade -- in the dream we were just kissing and cuddling and enjoying being together, which has never happened in real life but it seemed totally natural and real in the dream. I woke up before the radio-alarm came on, but slowly, so that the dream just gently faded into daydreams.

I wish every night was like that. Sleeping for hours, and waking up feeling sufficiently happy and rested that I don't mind being alone.

I used to sleep and wake like that when I could let my sleep patterns dictate my days. I went to bed when I was tired enough to sleep, got up when I naturally woke up.

I ended up on a 6 day week (rather than 7) of longer days, which wasn't conducive to doing anything that required interacting with people who were on a 24H schedule, but boy did I sleep well.
