You are retired, you have a chronic, incurable disease, those two reasons alone should allow you to take a nap ,and not feel guilty about it! Any energy you waste feeling guilty about anything, just takes away from your strength to do something constructive ,instead of something destructive. Feeling guilty is a destructive emotion in my book!!! I have worked so hard when I'm awake to not let PD control my life, by seeing the clock last night I found that PD is getting even with me at night, and I wasn't even aware of it!! I'm still determined to win this battle. I never let anything conquer me in my life, and I'm a little old to start now!! just me, Marjorie
