@Lilac-JadeCanada I find that growing older helps, you get a better perspective on how unimpotant many of those things are. But for now, a digital hug is sent.

@Lilac-JadeCanada Yes I never was a good sleeper either. In fact I was so bad as a baby , it almost cost me my life, since my mother, I am told, got so frustrated with me only sleeping two hours a nights, that she, being sleepless herself, tried to throw me out of the upstairs window. Fortunately I was rescued by my grandmother.

@Lilac-JadeCanada Fortunately I was in the pre medication age. Though at two years of age the doctor did prescribe a small glass of Sherry before bed. Since he said that at that age I was ready for alchohol. It may seem a wild idea now, but it was the late fifties, and the parents said that it did help, it was certainly probably less dangerous than strong medication. While it seems I developed a slighly better sleep at the age of about five, so they stopped.

But I always wonder about the western habit of putting children to bed in the early evening, and then being surprised that they wake you up in the early morning ?
