New sleeping masks


The Dreamer & Opulence


I Previoulsy posted about Masks in  Sleep Masks and Hot Water Bottles since then my mask decided to wear itself out.  I then decided to go ahead and get two new ones, one because I wanted to see what the other masks were like, the ones without the comfort straps but with the ear plug holder, and of course to get the one I love.  One will have a permanent residence in my travel bag, so I can sleep on the road without any issues.  I am a very very very light sleeper, all sounds wake me up.  My husband breathes heavy, and it keeps me up, my dogs get up and settle themselves in the night and I'm up, the neighbors dogs bark, wind, rain, general creaks, faucets drip, well you get the idea. I wake up easily.  

I'm not sure if any of you suffer from the same sleeplessness that I do, but I found that masks that block the light and keep your eye lids shut help a lot, and the earplugs assist as well.  


Well, I do remember people mentioning others with PCOS having issues with sleep, and so it seems a good thing to review.  Getting a good nights sleep helps, 


I love this poem, and haven't shared any poems lately.  This is one that I love to think on.  I also like to listen to a particular song some nights when my mind is racing, the song calms me and reminds me to let the little things go.

Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod
Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod, one night sailed off in a wooden shoe;
Sailed off on a river of crystal light into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.
"We've come to fish for the herring fish that live in this beautiful sea.
Nets of silver and gold have we," said Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in the wooden shoe.
And the wind that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew.
Now the little stars are the herring fish that live in that beautiful sea;
"Cast your nets wherever you wish never afraid are we!"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three - Winkin', and Blinkin', and Nod.
So all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinkling foam.
'Til down from the skies came the wooden shoe bringing the fisherman home.
'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed as if it could not be.
Some folks say 'twas a dream they dreamed of sailing that misty sea.
But I shall name you the fisherman three - Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
Now Winkin' and Blinkin' are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one's trundle bed.
So close your eyes while mother sings of the wonderful sights that be.
And you shall see those beautiful things as you sail on the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three - Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
