I did wonder when you said there was only room for 100 readers.<br />Also real pleased that your house is peaceful at the moment.<br />Is it some (legal) medication making him sleep so much? <br />I only know the one time I got clean for a few months . . . I was praying/begging God for some sleep. It was impossible. I so badly wanted to sleep and just could not. If it is his meds maybe they could change something?<br />Anyway at least you are getting some much deserved and needed peace in you life. Take good care.

He has to stay active and busy (working or finding work). My son's house has a rise time of 7AM and out of the house by 9AM. They can't return until 4PM, at which point they have meetings and house duties. In a way it is like a somewhat relaxed boot camp. My son would sleep all day if they let him. I love the discipline they are instilling that I somehow never managed to be able to enforce.notmyboyhttp://www.notmyboy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656941911046474222.post-17542835976259206792012-01-20T23:53:38.028-08:002012-01-20T23:53:38.028-08:00I love what that lady wrote.

A lot of times when he has his 7am class he gets home about 11am, eats something and sleeps for a few hours. But, he doesn't do that all the time. The days he sleeps till noon drive me crazy, but I reason to myself that I would rather him sleep. The counselor told me it when he goes through his patterns of sleeping a lot it is because his body needs it as well as his depression. I only believe that because when he does sleep a lot I can see his mood changing a couple of days before and I know it is coming.<br /><br />It takes so long for their body and brain to heal, if it ever really does.<br /><br /><br /><br />It is so hard isn't it?Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469486624859667837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656941911046474222.post-2066676355859603132012-01-20T23:31:42.725-08:002012-01-20T23:31:42.725-08:00Sleeping is sometimes a sign of a body replenishin...Sleeping is sometimes a sign of a body replenishing itself, healing itself.
