I don't know about you, dear reader, but Monday's Style cover story about segmented sleep — sleeping a few hours, waking, being productive and then sleeping a few hours more — made me feel a whole lot better.
It helped me realize I'm not alone in my disjointed sleep.
I've never been an easy sleeper. My mind tends to get really loud at bedtime, making it difficult to fall asleep. And when I do fall asleep quickly, I often find myself wide awake just a few hours later.
Back when my sleep troubles became bothersome (decades ago) someone suggested perhaps I was consuming too much caffeine. I begrudgingly took the suggestion to heart. It helped, a little.
These days I limit myself to one coffee (4 ounces stove-top espresso with 1 cup frothed milk) each morning.
