Last night there was spectacular lightning and hail on the roof for an extended period. It rained a lot. I finally fell asleep when the lightning stopped but got up late. When I woke, I thought I was struck on the head by the fireworks. My head did not explode but felt like it could. Now I am in my happy place here with you. How was your night?

I woke up early, at 6 am after not going to sleep until after midnight but I do feel like I got a pretty good night's sleep.

@akalinus I have restless nights and some short nights but no, I always sleep even if just for 4 hours.

@BelleStarr One night recently, I could not sleep the whole night. I was really tired the next day.

You got some sleep, that is always good. Do you have nights that you can't sleep?

We get those storms in the summer. It is part of the Florida living experience. I think they said that our county is the lightning capital of the country. Or something like that.

@JudyEv You are not missing much. Tornados nearby bring terror to the heart.

@akalinus We don't have tornadoes here either - at least not in our part of WA. They have them further north.

Do you remember them? Were they good, bad, or just unexplainable?

It was a warm and humid night. Not so pleasant.

I hope you have AC or fans to make nights more comfortable.

@JohnRoberts I know that feeling. It runs the electric up beyond my budget but I run it for a couple of hours at a time when it is hottest. I run a fan at night. It is a big window type fan sitting on a small table near the bed and there is another near the desk.

@akalinus I don't run the a/c all night due to cost and being too cool.

I know there is a time difference between here and India. Your day is done but mine is only half over. Hope you have a great night.

My night was cool and dry. Slept better than I had in weeks. Today I am happy with mylot and a Belgian chocolate bar.

We could use a cool night around here. It has been ghastly hot. Um, chocolate, will you save me a piece?

@Starmaiden I should go out and buy some chocolate but would eat the whole thing. I can only eat tiny bits at a time because of the sugar content.

Yesterday my night was quite good. I fall asleep instantly as I was too tired.

Being tired is a good way to fall asleep.
