Sleep Deprivation
Like so many people, sleeping is one of my favourite things. I love sleeping, I've slept on trains, in fields and even twenty feet away from a Formula One car being driven with gusto by David Coulthard.

So imagine my consternation a few weeks back when the rather lovely _chickenlady sharing my bed elbowed me in the ribs to whisper "Turn on the light, there's something enormous and purple in here!".

Well, naturally given those exceptional circumstances what is a gentleman to do?

However, my immediate response of "Yes darling, the fires of passion rage out of control with you whenever I look into your eyes, let's abandon ourselves to an inferno each other's arms"
_{*not necessarily an accurate description of my response, which may/may not have been "wha...amisnorinagain?"}

"Not now you idiot, can you not see the large purple elephant with yellow spots in the room?"

That Dumbo is a total bastard.

They say love is blind.
I guess it would have to be deaf also : )

Ah...
The frailties of the human body betray us at the most sensitive of times.

How can you sleep
anywhere in the same county as an F1 car?

I can't even sleep when there's ordinary road traffic going by outside.

I fell asleep
during Star Wars two at the cinema .... and during The Patriot, The Colour of Money (that was utter shite), and many others. He doesn't take me to the cinema anymore ..... wonder why?

@ TWW
I slept during The Hunt for Red October.

And I suspect it's a good thing that PJM can sleep through F1 car noise....good training for sleeping through my snoring.

His mates refuse to share a room with him now because HE snores...I've not really noticed so we must be well matched.

When my ex and i were still platonic..
we lived in a single room flat in Crouch End.
(Yes, that Crouch End, beloved of horror writers from Clive Barker to Stephen King.)

One night we'd both had a couple of drinks, and gone to our (seperate) beds. Being a lightweight drinker... as she put it "2 drinks and you're anybodies, 3 drinks and you're no good to anybody"...I fell straight asleep.

I was woken at about 2am by her hissing from her bed on the other side of the room.
"what?" (Probably more like 'whaaaaa')
"There's a tiger under my bed."

I explained to her that there was about 4 inches of clearance from the ground to her bed base, but she was so convinced that eventually I had to get up and check it for her, then the wardrobe, then the oven part of the baby belling cooker..
She was convinced that she'd seen it, and I ended up cuddling her for a while to relax her.
