45. The problem is - awakened from a deep sleep you can't get back to that again before time to be up.

I'm one who needs - absolutely needs- a certain amount of good sleep to carry on the day.
That interruption of solid sleep can't just be turned on and off.
I certainly realize that part of the problem is of my doing by staying up to late, but that is my weakness and not easily changed.
