Me: proceeds not to fall back asleep until 6:55AM.
tosses and turns, occasionally glancing at the clock, getting more and more pissed as the hours go by until finally, exhaustion creeping in, your alarm goes off
Repeat every day.
Every.
Single.
DAY.
Once read somewhere that if you put your phone away an hour before you go to bed that you sleep better.
Real shame, I could’ve used that knowledge an hour ago.
I used to be like this. Once you learn to let go the anxiety won’t keep you up. It’s counter intuitive in a cruel way. But that’s life the more enraged you are at the lack of control you inevitably have the farther you are from achieving your desired goals.
One often meets their destiny on the road they take to avoid it
Me: closes eyes for 1 second
Clock: 7am
Na, can’t be 7am, 3am was just a second ago.
sleeps to 8:30am
Yay! It’s dark outside! I didn’t oversleep!
Checks clock, it’s 3am and you can’t go back to sleep
Oh crap
It’s happened to me every night for a week. :/
Clock: 3pm
Phone: 17 missed calls
You must be popular.
Missed calls? Found a boomer. \j
I think they are a millennial, those are all the calls they got the past 6 months and they didn’t answer any of them.
This checks out.
And they never just call their mom.
Oh good, I have 4 more hours to lie awake. 👍
panics Which day??? Did I sleep more than 24h again??
Every.night.
Clock: 10 AM
Reads this at 4:30am
Me: fuck, now I’m awake
