Laying in bed.... staring at the wall.... thinking about how I can NEVER sleep. Sometimes, it's like my brain activates just as I try to lay down. I end up grabbing this computer, and typing ridiculous bullshit until 4am. I started to do some math (I love doing math in my head), and decided that I spend about 30-35 hours a week sleeping, depending on whether or not I have a lazy weekend day. If you're thinking that figure sounds funny, you're absolutely right! That averages out to between 4 & 5 hours a night. Crazy, I know but I'm totally cool with that! I have always been that way, I actually get it from my mother. Why sleep when you can be doing so many productive things, right? I have gotten so deep into an arts & crafts project, that I didn't go to bed at all!!! I have sat down to update my status before bed, and found myself with a 2,000 word blog by 4:30 in the morning, in NO time! It's crazy. Sometimes an idea will hit me just before I finally drift off, and I can't settle back down without grabbing my computer, or atleast saving a short reminder in my phone. If it gets too quiet, and the room is too dar, I sometimes find myself playing a game on my phone, or downloading some apps. I have a problem, but I feel like I need all of the time that I utilize while not asleep.
UNTIL.... the morning rolls around. I HATE getting out of bed. This has been a problem of mine since I can remember. As an adolescent, my dad would barge into my room and scream at me multiple times a day. I would scream and verbally assault him the first 3 times, then finally hop up the 4th time, and not remember anything before that. It was awful riding to school with Mark the Shark, pissssssed off because I had apparently called him an eff'ing loser, without even knowing it.
To this day, I have to dig deep within every bit of my being to find the strength to pull my ass out of bed. I can snooze with the best of 'em. I am infamous for setting multitudes of annoying alarms, and sleeping through them. I have had roomies come in and be my wake-up call because all of my alarms woke them up. I have been late to more classes and now, work, than you could imagine. It's so annoying. Thank goodness I can spruce up in a jiffy!
