Wordfuse (shut-eye edition)

 (noun): slept + skeptic = those who doubt they'll sleep through the entire night, or whose history has shown proper uninterrupted shut-eye to be elusive aka more four winks than forty winks. Sigh.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  1. Codex:
    It's a good word to describe mind over mattress. Me: Ready for sleep.
    Mind: Really? I'd like to chat.
    Me: Not now.
    Mind: Blah.Blah.Blah.
    Me: Not this again.
    It's my favorite game.

    1. Mind over mattress? Ha, clever. And your conversation is relatable.

  2. I am very sleptic, but I did get 7 hours last night. That is a huge win for me.

    1. That is indeed a win! You've written about being a sleptic, so this is especially good news.

  3. I haven't had an uninterrupted full night's sleep since menopause nearly 20 years ago.

  4. At around 4:00am, get up, visit the loo, look out of the window and check on the neighbourhood, if all is well, then go back to bed. Yes I'm sleptic.

  5. I have been sleeping quite well lately.
    I've always been pretty good at sleeping. I don't usually sleep very long -- 6 hrs is a good night's sleep, 4.5 is manageable.

    1. To interrupt my most distracting 4 am conversations I count backwards from 300. Sometimes it works.

    2. Codex: I made my sheep crash into the fence, because it wasn't working.

  10. I am reading this at 1:40 am. Alas, I’ve never been able to make the sheep show up so I can begin counting.

  11. With 4 cats, we never get a full night of uninterrupted sleep.
