Talented? Yes.

So anytime I get a new roommate, it mixes the sleep cycles a little bit. For the first few days, I don't sleep quite as soundly as usual cause I'm scared of waking them up or something. However, yesterday Emilie (new roomie) commented on how fast I fall asleep. She was amazed at the fact that I literally fall asleep in within two minutes of laying down. If I lay on my back I might make it to five minutes, but pretty much the second I lay on my belly and close my eyes, I am out. From that point I am completely dead to the world until the alarm goes off. As in I literally do not move a muscle, my sheets and blankets don't even get messed up.
Ever since I was in high school I have deemed sleeping as one of my talents. I can sleep pretty much anytime, anywhere. I have fallen asleep with my eyes open, I have fallen asleep standing, I have even fallen asleep while singing, and yes I was still holding the note when I woke up. Sheer talent. Or maybe I just need to sleep more?

bah haha that's intense! I can't say I have fallen asleep singing or with my eyes open, but I too used to be an AWESOME sleeper. Which might make me incredibly lazy. But I would lay down and fall asleep pretty much instantly and then sleep like a rock all night. I never understood people who had to get up multiple times in the night... or that tossed and turned all night. i.e. Zach. I was like LAY STILL!!! it bugged. But now, -sigh- all of that's out the window. I still fall asleep fast but I wake up during the night, it's beyond annoying and I hate it! Also no sleeping on my belly for me. So enjoy it for me sister. :o)

haha it's true, you do fall asleep quickly. even when i would sitll be talking to you. and you'd play with your hula skirt with your feet at the same time. serious talent. also i think that college really helped me perfect the talent of sleeping anytime, anywhere.

Very talented Madison! I'm impressed that you and Jordan DON'T move around when you sleep! I always wake up because I've kicked a wall or because I've walked into another room! You're a much better sleeper than I!
