Banter? I just met her...
I have this problem, see. I have been told by many of those close to me that I am a very energetic sleeper. I kick and roll and turn and spin. It's quite scary sometimes, I hear. But the worst part of it is that I "whimper." It's not a snore and it's not a gargle, but a whimper. Like, "Hmmmmm....Hmmmmm..." Of course I am none the wiser and for a split second after I wake up refreshed and ready for the new day, chipper, and my girlfriend or whoever is attempting to sleep in the room looks at me like, "I hope you slept well because I sure as hell didn't." Then I feel bad, well rested, but bad.
One time, in LA, Mat and Harper and I slept in the same room and they both thought I was having a catastrophic nightmare. They concluded it was an impossibility that I was having a good nights sleep. They said I seemed scared shitless. So they watched me to make sure I wasn't going to cut my wrists, vomit and drown myself, or just die in my sleep. I woke up the next day saying, "I slept like a baby." They looked at me with that, "Great, we didn't sleep a goddam wink because of your squirmy ass" look. Then I felt bad. But what was I to do?
My girlfriend wears earplugs and prays she fall's asleep first. Hell, I don't blame her one bit. But I want to look and breathe pretty while I sleep. Is that too much to ask? She sure as hell does. So why not me? Why must I be the "retartded, whimpering pile of fidget?" What did I do to deserve to be the autistic sleeper? And why is it that this fidgertry is the state of sleep I prefer, no, can't sleep without? Am I a freak? Is it directly related to the fact that I have no earlobes? Help me. I sleep deep and hard but that does not give me the right to be the only one who can do so in the room. Will nose strips help? How about snore aids? But again, I don't snore. That is so, grandpa.
It's just a helpless feeling knowing you have a problem that doesn't effect you one iota but others see you as a "freak when you sleep."
Yours,
