This is what I saw, at the foot of my bed, at 2am

[Siwsan]

I woke up after just 3 hours of sleep, and I mean WOKE up. I was so frustrated at not being able to sleep for more than 3 hour at a stretch. I turned on a soft light and saw this. Trust me, I calmed right down.

1. Awwwwww

So cute!

Thx for sharing!

[Emile]

2. Looks like they are making up for your lack of sleep!

Too cute!

[Raven123]

3. Hope you didn't disturb the kitties

[Siwsan]

4. Of course not!

A few hours later, they disturbed me. Arthur has his big brother's bad habit of attacking my toes. Fortunately, if I put a folded blanket over them, he just keeps attacking the blanket. Madoc? He burrows UNDER the blanket to get that toe access back.

5. Expecting a story about demons (from sleep paralysis)

Here I was, expecting to hear about experiencing demons (resulting from sleep paralysis)
.... but AWWWWWW

[Siwsan]

6. I've experienced sleep paralysis

It happened a lot when I was in the Navy but has continued, very sporadically, over the years. Sitting here, now, I can fully recall what a horrible thing it is to experience. Experiencing demons is a good description.

11. I've had

that too. The only time it happened was if I napped in the afternoon and it happened when I was in my late teens and twenties. What I found disturbing was I could hear what was going on around me, but couldn’t move or of course wake up. Just a horrible feeling.

12. Belsomra ... Alien Abduction

I experienced it when my doctor provided me with a sample of Belsomra - really freaky, a red LED light from a piece of electronics became a sinister element that was out to get me and I was unable to move. I was at least able to explain it when I woke up completely - a lot of people can't do that.

There's some research (which has been replicated) that links sleep paralysis as the most likely explanation for many of those alien abduction stories as well as some of the repressed recollections of sexual abuse.

7. SQUUUEEEEE!!!

8. Insomnia? Take two sleeping cats at bedtime.

[blm]

9. Lololol

[niyad]

10. How could you not, with that soothing and comforting sight!! All is well in

your boys' world!

[slightlv]

13. I'd have turned around

and had my head right down there in the curve of his belly, falling right back to sleep again! How precious!

[piddyprints]

14. That's just about as cute as it can get!

That Arthur seems to have an extra dose of purrsonality!

[ShazzieB]

15. Brotherly love!

Madoc is actually smiling in his sleep--precious!
