Kim Stagliano Now on HuffPo
When I began writing for Huffington Post in 2007, Fearless Voices was both the theme of the category in which I was published and the title of Arianna's book. I had a fearless voice, and was thrilled to chime in here. But now, I feel like an outcast. Everyone is talking about how to get to sleep. How to stay asleep. How to sleep well, deeply, restfully and many more adverbs all of which imply that sleep is an elusive dream.
Not for me.
I sleep like a rock within minutes of turning out the light. It's almost too embarrassing to share. No Ambien. No wine. No Lunesta. No melatonin (although my kids get a spray of it every so often.) No warm milk .I can drink a gallon of coffee at 6:00pm and still zonk out at 10 p.m. as if on command... Click the headline to read the full post and comment. Thanks!

I'm out the second I hit the pillow as well. Blessed sleep.
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
OMG Kim, I am SOOO with you on this one. I need NOTHING to crash hard and could sleep 13 hours and then still take a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. I ADORE sleep and thrive on it! I will go check out the article!
Although, alas, I'm not part of the easy sleepers group since my mind likes to go immediately to whatever bizarre, intense and puzzling place it can port itself to the moment I lay down, I am very happy for you that you get a full night now! After all of those years of interrupted sleep,your body must just sing as you sleep.
I enjoyed the article and found your writing to be very engaging!
HAHA Hi cousin! I haven't slept since Lex was born for more than three hours in a row... I'm so used to it that even now when he (very rarely) sleeps or four i get up anyway! But as you i'm out before my head hits the pillow! i think there are times that i even change his diaper in my sleep! I'm sorry I missed you when we came! I'd love to meet up with you sometime! xoxoxoo Francesca
Testing, Testing, can you hear me.
