prime night hours

When I was a little girl, I'd often lay awake at night, listening to the distant television from my parents' living room, afraid of falling asleep and missing something. I later realized that if I'd only tried falling asleep with my eyes closed it would have happened a lot faster.

Now, I entertain the idea of reveling in those precious nighttime hours, instead of feeling so exhausted at night that I'm asleep within minutes.
