The Bionic Woman

 I have had a problem for the past while.

I SLEEP TOO MUCH.

I know, I know. Everyone my age that I talk to has the complete opposite problem, they can't get to sleep. But believe me, this is a problem too.

I get a good 8-10 hours sleep per night, never wake up, not even to pee! But when I do get up in the morning I'm never fully refreshed, I'm still sleepy. Then I could go back to bed twice a day and sleep for an hour or two each time and still head off to bed at 10 pm and fall fast asleep. If I don't get to sleep during the day it can be a big problem especially if I'm driving.

So after numerous tests, all clear T.G, I was sent for a sleep study to Bon Secours in Galway, to monitor what exactly happens while I'm asleep.

The day before I suddenly realised that I didn't have anything suitable to wear for the study.

"Sure I'll just pop into Dunnes or Pennys and pick up something there."

WRONG!

When I went to their sleepwear section I was confronted by rows and rows of Christmas pajamas

"MERRY CHRISTMAS".

"LATE LATE TOY SHOW."

For feck sake, it's not even Halloween yet, its only mid-October.

I had to go further afield and I eventually tracked down a decent pair.

I got wired up, watched a bit of TV and then conked out for the night.

One of the questions that I was asked was,

"Do you snore?"

 I had to think about that one.

"Well as far as I can remember I've never had a complaint, but I can't say if I've snored recently!!!"

Fingers crossed they'll get to the root of it.
