Since the Friday Five is no more and I have nothing much to say, here’s the FridayQ:

FQ TOPIC: Sleepy.

FQ1: On average, how many hours of sleep do you get each night? Do you think that’s a good number?

I try to get 8 hours of sleep a night. It’s a great number since it’s the recommended number.

FQ2: Have you any sleep essentials? A nightlight or teddy bear perhaps? Must the door and closet be either closed or open?

No sleep essentials per se. I do sleep with the radio on. The door is usually open. I usually lotion up the hands right before turning out the light - mostly in winter.

FQ3: What do you wear to bed? What color are your sheets? How many pillows under your head?

Pajamas - all year round. In the summer I wear cotton pj pants with a t-shirt. In the winter it’s flannel with a long-sleeve T.

One pillow under my head.

FQ BIG SLEEP: Share some helpful advice you use when having trouble falling asleep.

I’m a good sleeper usually. However, I try to limit my caffeine and sugar intake in the evening. I never watch TV in bed and I rarely read in bed. My bed is for sleeping only.
