Losing a part of me

These overnight classes are tough but today’s class was an easy one. It is much easier on my system to deliver a foundational class for one night than a architect-level class for a week. Still, it would have been nice if I could have gotten some sleep yesterday. I lay in bed for three hours after my son left but it was no use – my eyes just would not shut. I called it a wash and got up to prepare for my class around 9:15pm… I know my body, and there are times when I just will not get to sleep. Of course, shortly before my class was due to start I realized I could have easily closed my eyes for eight hours of shuteye. Sigh.
