Restful sleep

As one gets older, it becomes the ongoing question - will I ever have a night of restful sleep? It is so rare to spent a night in bed without waking up, without tossing and turning and being restless. I am so used to getting up at 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. for so many years, to work, to care for my son, even on the weekends, sleeping until 8 a.m. was a luxury. But now I find myself sleeping until 8 a.m. on a weekday, and even today 9:45 a.m. on a Sunday, how rare. I can't remember sleeping like that on a Sunday in probably 25 years. I don't know if it is good or bad, healthy or not, but it is interesting feeling to feel somewhat rested and calm as my son begins his school year, not hectic and harried as usual. So we continue out clean-out and clean-up of the house, so we will definitely not qualify for the show Hoarders/Obsessed. Maybe just obsessed with cleaning out?
