The joy of a full night of sleep is appreciated only by those who seldom experience one.

I remember 24 years ago waking up one morning and realizing that our baby daughter had slept through the night for the first time. She was somewhere between six months and one year old. It felt so good to be really rested.

This morning I awoke and felt the same way. I don’t know how long it has been since I slept eight hours without waking up. I did last night. I turned off the light at an early 8:51 p.m. The alarm went off, like always, at 4:51 a.m. No waking moments in between. Wonderful!

The only explanation I can give is that yesterday, I went on a 30-minute walk and jog. Nothing hard at all. No sweat. But it felt so good to excercise again.

I want more of this.
