Probably because we don't generally have that sort of clear 'blank' sky. I shall look at it differently in the future. The answer to your question is (or used to be) quite simple. When I go to bed and put my head on the pillow I am asleep within seconds as a rule, sleep the sleep of the dead and wake and get up immediately. I never used to need much sleep. These days I don't sleep quite so soundly nor do I always leap out of bed on dark mornings the second I wake. Age cometh not alone.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-54254928244666598372013-10-18T18:48:31.410+01:002013-10-18T18:48:31.410+01:00Stunning.
