So I read this article in this health magazine one time about a woman who just slept and slept and slept all the time but never got rested. She fell asleep at work, during dinner, in front of the tv, and she slept ten-twelve hours a night sometimes, but she was just always tired. She went to the doctor, and they monitored her sleep patterns. They discovered that her tongue was too large for her mouth and was 'floppy,' so when she fell asleep her tongue would block her airway and she would wake up just for a split second - just long enough to take a quick gulp of air - just quick enough that she couldn't remember waking up. She did this every couple of minutes, so she never fell into a deep sleep, and she was perpetually tired.

Maybe I have a floppy tongue?

Just after I wrote my last post I went to bed intending to take a nap and wound up sleeping until the next morning. I've been doing things like that a lot. It's getting me a smidgen concerned.

I'm soon off to Emily's. We bought a bunch of men's white undershirts, and we're using stamps and fabric paint in all the colors of the rainbow to write "VOTE ALEX KALEEL (http://akhdarbazzoon.buzznet.com) FOR PROM KING" on them. We may make some that say "prom queen" instead.
