Delicate chimes from space....


....open my eyes each morning ~
a ring tone on my cell phone alarm.

Before that!
BZZZ......BZZZZ....BZZZZ
~ hit the snooze button
BZZZ.....BZZZ.......BZZZZ

Sleep ~ a key to brain health needing
quality
quantity

Awakening gently or 
with sudden insistent noise
demanding instant alertness.
'Hurry up...you'll be late!'
'You won't get everything done!'

Epilepsy doesn't respond well
to being jarred awake.

The effect?   Not a seizure ~ necessarily ~ but
disconnection
discombobulation
irritation
before a day's busyness even begins.

“To affect the quality of the day ~
that is the highest of arts.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
