10 things you don't know about me...#5

the only time i fear dying in my sleep is when i take a nap

i know this is a strange one, but it's the truth.  i cannot really explain why i feel this way.  i haven't always been afraid of dying that way, but over the past few years, this feeling has crept into my psyche.  Part of it is, even tho i'm tired, when i go to take a nap, i'm very aware of my body slowing down...feeling my heart rate drop as my body relaxes...and it kind of freaks me out.  and i have known a few people socially that did actually die while taking a nap.  Usually had a heart attack.  And ever since my Dad's had heart problems and his doctor told me i needed to be careful, i've been very paranoid about it.

Still, this doesn't keep me from taking naps...i just don't always wake up as refreshed as i'd like to....oh well
