Wide Awake
Why is it that when I have a day off, I sleep anywhere between 8-10 hours that night, with a nap during the day, but when I have to get up for work the next day I either can’t get to sleep early enough or I’m up at an ungodly hour? Yesterday at work I could barely keep my eyes open, had a raging headache from a lack of sleep, then I had to work job #2 last night. It wasn’t busy so I left an hour early, got home, and was asleep before my shift would have ended. Then I was wide awake at 3am. Six freaking hours of sleep is all I got. I’ve been at the computer for well over an hour now and not ready to go back to bed. I’ll have to try that last resort - heading over to the sofa with my comfy blanket and pillow and popping in an AbFab DVD. Sure, the show is funny and exciting, but I’ve seen them all so many times that it’s comforting too, and one of the only things I can watch that clears my brain so I can sleep. I know I’m gonna need to sleep because come 3pm I’ll be slumped over my desk, snoring so loudly that I’ll disturb my coworkers. I’ll suffer through the next 2 days, and of course working both jobs on Friday, then I’ll be up late Friday night and sleep till noon on Saturday.
Thank goodness this insomnia thing is rare with me, I’d go absolutely beserk if it happened any more frequently.
