Absolutely I can relate. As a teenager/young person I could blissfully surrender myself to sleep...sometimes probably too much according to my mother. But then I began a career in nursing - shift work, weekends, holidays, 12hr shifts, double shifts, extra shifts. That did me in. The last few years of my career, as menopause invaded, I worked 7PM to 7AM. So, I too, am lucky to get much more than 4-5hrs a night and that's usually broken up by trips to the bathroom. I am lucky, I can catch a nap during the day, I have friends who say they can't sleep in the day but I actually sleep better in the day.
