Babies don't sleep in large chunks of time, and they tend, until they have *learned* how to sleep for longer, as well as been able to get enough sustenance to last them through more sleep, to wake every 2-4 hours for biological needs. As I find myself having a harder time *waking up* in the mornings (the bed has superglue, and the dogs generate sleepyons), I notice myself drifting in and out of sleep. I probably do it at night, too, but there's no way for me to see the passage of time via the light outside. Drifting in and out of sleep is still not getting me the kind or amount of sleep I need to feel rested and then alert upon waking, but it IS better than nothing.

I am *not* refreshed by shallow sleep, no matter how much or how little I get of it.
