The Quarter Life Chronicles

 

I had the worst night's sleep Thursday night into Friday morning.  Of course I also had to wake up extra early Friday morning for work, so that made things all the more aggravating.

At about 11p, for no apparent reason I bolted out of bed, sure that my alarm had gone off.  I think I got about half way to the door when I realized that it was only 11pm and I still had a good five and a half hours left to sleep.  So, after a trip to the bathroom I headed back to bed and quickly fell asleep.

About two, two and a half hours later I once again bolted awake-but this time is was due to that blasted alarm system going on...set off by "the brother".  If that wasn't bad enough, the argument between siblings that erupted after kept me awake-heart pounding-for quite awhile longer.

I did fall back asleep, but woke up before my alarm for a third time and instead of trying to fall back asleep for a few more pathetic minutes, I dragged myself out of bed.  Needless to say, I felt like crap the rest of the day.  By the time I finally got out of work...the last thing I wanted to do was go straight home as I knew I'd probably just end up laying down and falling asleep way too early.  So I walked around the mall for a half hour or so...picked up a few magazines to peruse while I waited for my friend to come home from work (which as it turned out wasn't until after nine).  I came home, ordered some Chinese food and went back out to pick it up.  I came home, ate, called my dad (who was going to have my mom call when she got home from work) and I settled down to look at the magazines...when I fell asleep for a few hours.

I can't think of too many things that are worse than sleep deprivation and hate it when I have nights like that. And, like you, they always seem to happen when I have to get up early the next morning!

Hope you get some good sleep this weekend!

Both OC and I had some trouble sleeping a couple of nights this week. For OC that isn't unusual. For me it is.

I hope you've gotten a decent bit of sleep since then.

This sounds so grim! I read somewhere that you can't really "catch up" on your sleep, you just have to soldier on. I hope you get back to your regular sleep pattern soon.

I'm used to waking up at least twice every night to go to the bathroom. This, inevitably, leads to me raiding the fridge for food. I'm so accustomed to it that I don't mind. Hope this week is better for you. :)

Must be something about this time of year cos none of us are sleeping well at the moment either.

I hope you manage to catch up on the lost hours somehow. Being sleepy just sucks.

Whew! I'm lucky that my worst nights' sleep occurred over the weekend. Our younger dog kept whimpering to go out & I couldn't help but fall asleep every time she did...all day long. I had such a hard time getting going this morning. Sounds like you need to get your own place!!
