The three stages of sleep

Posted on by Mr. Bo

Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately (so much for that New Year’s resolution!).

You’ll be happy to know that I’m fine. Truth is, I’ve been engaged in some important research on sleep. Modeled after, if not completely ripped off from, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s pioneering work on grief in the 1960s, I’ve identified the three stages of sleep.

1. DENIAL

I can’t go to sleep during Happy Hour — I might miss out on some treats!

2. BARGAINING

If I can just close my eyes for two seconds, I’ll be fine afterward. Those Two will never notice!

3. ACCEPTANCE

Aw, forget it — I’m beat!

  1. Dear Mr. Oxbow,
    I had a humanoid friend of mine that must have been a cat in a previous life….
    Sleep, sleep sleep….that was the person’s way of navigating the world. Any opportunity, any moment of free time, slumber awaited. I also had a feline friend who also wanted and needed a great deal of rest as well. Probably that is why both beings of which I speak, were absolutely brilliant. Just like you!
