NWSA is usually my happy place, where I'm wildly social--partying every night, making appointments to meet different groups for every meal--but I had absolutely no energy this year. I could fake short spurts and then I'd go veg at a talk or by myself in my room.
I got elected Caucus chair last evening and then texted Big A that I was having the worst time ever and went to sleep. Apparently he texted me near midnight and then a couple of times after that. Then he proceeded to get worried when I didn't respond and called me around 3 am... I know I have a reputation for bad sleep habits, but surely I'm allowed to deviate once in a while?
Can't wait to head home today.

Oh dear, how stressful for Big A. :( But I am glad you were sleeping hard as your body really really needs that! It would be hard to be at a conference where there is so much socializing when you are not feeling like yourself. :(
I'm glad that you're listening to your body and getting some needed rest/sleep. It does no good to push yourself into social situations when you cannot do it. All it does is cause stress, and that makes things worse.
It's unfortunate that your husband became concerned, (and it was understandable), but hopefully this sleep was restorative.
Yes, sleep is good. Your body knows what it needs.
