Why Have I Waited Soooo Long

8/25/2008

 
Nearly every night for the past 841 days, my bed has asked the same question, “Why have you waited sooooo long to lay down?”  My body has consistently responded (while melting into the soft, wonderful memory foam), “Because I am stupid.”

I wake at 5:30 AM, Monday through Friday, at 7:30 AM on Saturday, and 6:00 AM on Sunday.  This means that I NEED to be asleep by 10:15 PM so that I can get at least 7 hours of sleep.  However, here’s a sample of what normally happens:

09:40:00 PM – cell phone alarm signals that I need to get ready for sleep
09:40:01 PM – I angrily turn it off and ignore the warning
09:50:00 PM – I mention to Karen we need to get ready for sleep
09:50:30 PM – I remember something I “need” to do and start working on it
10:15:00 PM – I should be in bed with my eyes closed
10:20:00 PM – Karen mentions to me that we need to get ready for sleep
10:30:00 PM – “AGH!!!  IT’S 10:30!!!  WE NEED TO SLEEP” one of us gasps
10:31:00 PM – Karen shuts off her computer
10:40:00 PM – I finally shut off my computer
10:43:00 PM – I turn my computer back on to do something else
11:15:00 PM – Karen and I are chatting in bed
11:16:00 PM – I get up and write a post-it note reminding me of something else
Sometime later – I finally fall asleep

Ugh…this happens WAY too often and 5:30 AM comes WAY too fast.  Last night and once again, my body responded, “Because I am stupid.”
