I went to bed around 10 p.m. last night and woke up at midnight, realizing I had forgotten to take the trash out for pickup. After handling that task, I returned to bed a few minutes later, and fell asleep again, only to wake up at 4:49 p.m. today. I hadn't intended to sleep the entire day—typically, I wake up naturally around 6 a.m. to let the dogs out and then return to bed until my alarm goes off at 9 a.m.

Finally managed to sleep all the way through the night last night, after a couple of weeks of insomnia. It's probably not a coincidence that those couple of weeks coincided with my wife being out of town helping her mother after hip surgery, or that last night was our first night back together again.
