uote=NatalieMacDonald]Brother, I wish I could just turn my mind off and let me sleep! Went to bed thinking about challenging myself with untried techniques - Diane Gaudynski's artful FMG, borders, how about piping, etc. It just doesn't stop! Then I'm good for nothing the next day. I envy envy envy people who can sleep well.
I did watch a hail storm at 4 AM this morning.

I'm not a "sleeper" either, but I justify it by saying it stems from all of the midnight oil I burned when I was teaching and raising a family. After retirement I continued to follow the same pattern of sleep (or sleeplessness). It's been 13 years, so I can hardly blame it on my working days pattern. I, too, lay awake (and sometimes sitting at the computer) thinking about quilting (and cake decorating).
