Day 23 of 100

I am enjoying the most amazing sleep! For the last few years I have just not slept well. I have attributed this to many things: a shift in harmones, stress and too much caffiene. In fact, I had limited myself to one glass of tea in the morning to see if I could alleviate the problem that way. I can't say I ever found a good solution.

Imagine my surprise about three days into my one hundred days without sugar when I began to sleep through the night. Deep and sound. And if I did wake up with a full bladder, I was able to get right back to sleep. I can't remember the last time I was able to do that. Usually when I wake up in the night I am up for hours.

I can't tell you how exciting this is. Maybe the wrinkles around my eyes will start to disappear now that I am getting good sleep...... :0) Well, one can hope, anyway.

But even more amazing to me is that I am dreaming again. I never dream. Or if I do, I don't ever remember them. Haven't for years. But now I dream almost every night. In fact, two nights ago I dreamt there was a big spider in between Bill and I on our bed and so I sat up really fast and tossed the covers in the air to send it flying. But of course, that woke both me and Bill up and I felt like an idiot. We had a good laugh the next morning.

I have a freind who called me that same morning and told me she had dreamt that I was giving her a tour of the most wonderful rustic lodge (I owned it) that she had ever seen. It sounded wonderful. I wish I could go visit her dream. I told her that probably means I will be selling her a new house soon ... :0) One can only hope!
