A couple of nights ago my wife and I ‘treated ourselves’ to the first Season of Mad Men. When it’s a good show, the episodes are like potato chips–once you’ve had one, you want another and another and another.
So we stayed up late on a work night… cause we felt we deserved it. We finally stopped after episode 5. It was almost 1:00 am.
And the next day we were toast.
Which we then resented and felt we didn’t deserve. Well, that we didn’t want. We probably deserved it for staying up way past our regular bedtime. And then, with all the story lines buzzing in our heads we simply didn’t sleep well.
What works for us is to read in bed. (Among other activities.) Reading something, especially if it’s not too scary or stimulating, is better than a capsule of Melatonin.
