I enjoy irony.
I've been having some trouble sleeping (middle-of-the-night insomnia) recently. So last night I set up my iPod on the station, cued to "Sleep Sound in Jesus" (a wonderful album by Michael Card) and at a gentle volume, ready to go if I woke up and needed some soothing music to help me back to sleep.
True to form, I woke up about 2:30, reached over to tap "play"...
and BLASTED my hubby and me a foot off the mattress.
Something had gotten messed up with the volume control, and believe me, no lullaby is soothing at full volume.
Then, of course, I couldn't find the button to turn it off or even down, and had to turn on the light to finally get it shut off, leaving me thoroughly awake.
Maybe I need to return to low-tech solutions like counting sheep.

I'm sorry.
And, I'm sorry, but reading how you all jumped a foot off the mattress had me laughing and remembering similar rude awakenings. It's a laugh of relation.
Hope you can get some sleep soon. My sleeping schedule osculates all the time and I have trouble sleeping at night sometimes.
Wow, that would be painful. :D
Aww, no lullabies are not lulling and soothing at full volume. I'm sorry for your 'rude' awakening but your telling it gave me a chuckle, because I've done that before too.
I use this verse when I wake from nightmares (which I have had quite frequently this past week) I hope it will bring you some comfort too when you wake in the night as well.
Psalm 127:1-3
In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
*nearly spews breakfast* LOL! I'm sorry, Sharon ... that was really funny :P
I hope you get some sleep, soon *hugs*
Seriously funny Sharon :))
And I can almost hear what happened because I sang that song to my kids all.the.time. Even now my Teen Son really will (very occasionally) say "Hey mom, sing that sleep song." I have to do it the traditional way which is to actually switch off the light on the last line--LOL. (For those who don't know it, the line is"...and I'll turn out the light."
