If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he’d make a fortune. ~Griff Niblack
I love sleeping. I mean, I LOVE it. But! I like to stay up late and do stuff. Write, surf, play games, and read are all things I like to do at night when everyone else is sleeping. I feel more creative and productive at those times of night. Maybe it is because I am enveloped in the peacefulness of a sleeping household and I can do those things uninterrupted or maybe that’s just when my creative juices start flowing. I don’t know.
Yesterday was my first day back to work after my week off (I know, week on/week off, what is this girl complaining about?) and I was exhausted by the time I got home from work. Part of it had to do with the kind of day that I had yesterday, but the other part is something that I create for myself. My therapist (there I go sounding all Hollywood again) tells me that if I want to not have insomnia, I need to set up a sleep routine. And stick to it whether I am on a work week or not. If I have to get up at 6:00am on a work day, then I need to get up at 6:00am on my days off, too. Phooey! That’s what I say! I like to stay up late, sleep in in the morning and take a nap mid afternoon.
And so…I’m tired. Maybe I’m slightly sleep deprived. I work hard when I am at work (it’s school physical season, with school starting in a few weeks) and it is exhausting in it’s own rite. Will I ever learn to listen to those who tell me to keep a schedule and get rest and behave myself? Or will I continue to be a brat who likes to do what she wants, whenever she wants no matter what the experts say? Yeah, you can probably bet on the brat.
Then you have no one to blame but yourself, silly!
I swear, I would get a night job, if I could. I love night time. I love sleep too, but it seems so nice to have a nap.
I don’t nap anymore.
Ah yes sugar. I call her Little Miss Insomnia cause she’s a bitch especially when accompanied by writer’s block LOL
:d
Fab–I know, I know. *sigh*
Lynda–I love a good nap. I mean I really love it.
Turnbaby–My Miss Insomnia is never accompanied by writer’s block. In fact, that’s when I write the best–when I am having a sleepless night.
A regular routine keeps migraines away. Just listen to me, the kettle calling the pot black.
I am the same way. I love being up ALONE and then I’m exhausted. I don’t know any way around it. It’s the only time everyone is content and leaving me alone. LOLOL
Yeah I’m a bit of a night owl, if it were not for work I think I would tend to say up late and get up late!! Not sure if this is the healthiest way to sleep / work… but I really struggle in the mornings!!
