Not the Best Place for a Nap

This is a first! I just found Samedh napping UNDER a table in the living room. His snoring lead me right to him, and when I lifted the table and set it aside, this is how I found Samedh...curled up with his thumb in his mouth! He and I had been working on last minute preparations for a weekend trip to the Detroit/Toledo area, and I guess he simply had enough. Just ten minutes ago, he was with me while I printed out Mapquest directions to our friends' house and to the Toledo Zoo. He was working on puzzles, but must have slipped away quietly to the living room while I was printing. Why was he under the table? My guess is he thought he'd hide from me there, but the quiet coziness lulled him to sleep instead. He hid from me under the same table only one hour ago, and we laughed about how wonderful of a hiding place it would be when his cousins visit and play hide-and-seek with him. And here I thought without an afternoon nap, Samedh would simply sleep in the car this evening. But this isn't too bad. A light nap now will allow him to be awake later during our scenic drive and dinner on the road.

Where is the little Lunesta butterfuly when you need it?

Or how about Abe Lincoln, and the groundhog and astronaut from the Rozerem commercial? "We've been waiting for you," they say on TV. I'm sure they are, but I just can't get back to sleep to meet them for a game of chess. I've been up this morning since 3am. I went out to the couch because Pankaj's snoring was bothering me, but I couldn't sleep out there either. This has become a regular routine for me, going on close to a year already. I fall asleep just fine, but after about 5 hours of slumber, that's it...I'm wide awake for 2 hours or so before I can sleep again.

Well, now that I've been up for a couple hours already, I guess it may be time to go back to sleep again. And this time, maybe Honest Abe and the groundhog WILL be waiting for me.
