I was asleep. Then, in my dream, I heard Anand howling because he'd been woken by a bad dream. Which startled me awake. And of course, both my kids are actually fast asleep. I couldn't get back to sleep, so now I'm awake for the day. It feels a bit unfair, that apparently my anxiety about my child's inability to sleep is sufficient to keep me from sleep EVEN WHEN said child does not actually wake me up. Meta-parenting-woes.
