I never had to sleep that much before Tx. I remember Edger Allen Poe's poem where he said "sleep is little periods of death". Anyway I slept a lot during Tx and watching a ton of daytime TV certainly helped put me in the sleep mood. However, I still didn't sleep as much as my wife does normally!! Anyway, I'm back to my "normal" sleep habits and enjoying being awake.
