CAN'T SLEEP, WONT SLEEP
I would say good morning as I usually do, however, judging from this title, you can probably guess I’m half asleep and a bit grumpy… just ask my husband!
Last night I was wide awake!!! Why is it when you have had a busy day, you are daydreaming about hitting the sack and then BOOM! the mind turns on all the lights and decided to have an all nighter? Sucks doesn’t it!
Well let me tell you… I tried to knock myself out by reading. Social media, news channels, amazon, eBay! Granted, not the best reading I could have done to make myself tired. Maybe I should have picked up my Martina Cole book - The Faithless. I decided to turn everything off at 12:10am and put my sleeping mask on, grab my hot water bottle and snuggle into bed. This should work, shouldn’t it? Wrong!
I tossed and turned all night. I went back to my phone countless times. Social media really is like a fridge. You keep opening it to see if there is anything good inside, but it’s still the same old shit.
1am, 2am, 3am passed! Seriously??? Surely at some point the lights will go off and the music will stop. That’s another thing. When I am awake I get countless earworms going on. Random songs that I have heard throughout the day decide to play in my head on loop. I wouldn’t have minded if it was classical. No such luck! Deep, dirty house music was going on!
I did at one point drift off… not for long though. I woke up to the sound of my cat yakking up a hairball! I tried to pick him up and put him out into the bathroom. At least that had a tiled floor, not like my cream carpets! Too late… biggest, grossest, wet hairball landed on the floor. Now I had to get up to scrub the carpet. Thanks! I did manage to get back into bed and find a comfy spot, but as you can imagine, my cat thought he was the dogs balls. He went into his litter tray. I knew what this meant. If I didn’t get up and close the door he will come bundling back into the bedroom, jump on my bed and leave lots of litter everywhere! I got up as fast as I could when heard the scraping of his paws in the tray. Not even greased lightning would have beat me. He did though! He didn’t even finish what he was doing before he ran and jumped on the bed. I shouted at him, picked him up and threw him out of the room.
I have no idea what time it was now, but I knew it was getting close to my alarm going off. It started to look light outside. I closed my eyes just to cram in what I could. I did fall asleep for just under an hour. When I woke up, all I remember was I had dreamed about going into my old employment, with a girl I used to work with years ago and everyone had to bring in food to the office. Both the girl and I had brought in a pack of raw chicken pieces. Random or what?
Right, well that’s all for now Steemers. Time for me to get to work. I have a busy day ahead of me! Caffeine at the ready!
nice
Ha, ha. Thanks!
Insomniac here too...it sucks ass, but at least you're able to laugh about it 👍Your day/night brain gif is exactly how I feel. Hope you don't suffer from RLS as well, the proverbial cherry on top?
Hey, thankfully I don't suffer RLS. It would be the cherry on top wouldn't it? Maybe we'll both sleep better tonight 👍👍
Good God I hope so 🙂
