[BIAD]

Wow! I had an experience this morning.

I did not get to bed until early this morning, about three o'clock. I have been trying to get caught up on the sleep I lost all of Saturday night, so I am blaming it on that.

My Huskies went off on a caterwauling session about 10 am, that would win an academy award. I am used to this on occasion, so it was no big deal, until I tried to get up. I was paralyzed. It was the weirdest feeling I have ever had! Morning sleep paralysis!

I have had an episode or two of sleep paralysis at night. Nothing persistent or remarkable. This was so different. I was fully awake but I could not move at all. It was strange but kind of funny.

I deliberately tried to move my arms, my legs, and my head, but my body was not having any of it. It took about two minutes for my body and brain to be back on speaking terms again. I could tell it was fading because I started to feel mild paresthesia move over my body.

Anyway, if you have had this happen, you know what I am talking about. If you have never experienced this, just trust me when I tell you, it was weird.

(After having to Google 'paresthesia', but pretending I already knew what it meant)
Er... I have had the tingling numbness when I've woken up, this is due to my better-half's demands of limiting my snoring.
I lay face down with my arms beneath the pillows and somehow, this remedies my noisy breathing!

But... when it's time to get up and get breakfast for the woman who keeps BIAD and myself on the straight-and-narrow,
I have two heavy lengths of tissue and sleeping muscle dangling from my shoulders. One day -and due to my useless
numb limbs, she'll catch me scratching an itch on the bedroom doorframe and I just know it'll be then that my future
sleeping habits will involve sharing the Man-Girl's shed.
