I woke up yesterday at around 11am, did one of those kind of go back to sleep kind of don't things for about another hour before I got out of bed. It was day 3 of tonsilitis so I thought it was time for some antibiotics to get rid of this damn thing. So last night I got into work mode and started writing an ebook, yes an actual ebook, about fitness. I decided to hop into bed around midnight to get a good sleep for the workday. Well turns out, that wasn't in the cards. At 1am I realized I couldn't sleep so I decided to do some reading, 20 minutes later I tried to sleep again......no dice. So I had a bath at 2am, 25 minutes later I tried to sleep again.....no dice. So at 3am I popped on an episode of dexter and started to watch thinking I'd fall asleep soundly halfway through......no dice. At 4am I decided to pick the book back up and read some more, 430am tried to sleep again.......no....wait for it......dice. What the hell? So for the next hour and a half I tossed and turned but to no avail, and at 6am I decided to hit the couch and pop on a movie and try it there........NO GODDAMN DICE!!! At 730am I made tea and breakfast and thought to myself, "well, I'm up, might as well stay up until I decide to nap". Oh did I mention that my tonsilitis is still lingering just enough to cause me nothing but problems? Well it is. So here I am, 436pm and I'm still wide awake.
I sure hope I can sleep tonight because I can't miss another day of work.....maybe I'll read up on insomnia.....maybe I'll try Nyquil.
It's true what Edward Norton said in Fight Club, when you're in this state, it's hard to know if you're really awake, or sleeping. I feel like I've spent the entire day in a daze, not knowing if I napped for a few minutes or just dazed off. Even as I sit here typing I can feel my eyelids dropping a little bit, feelings of tiredness wash over me periodically, but my brain is just messing with me. It's saying "hey, you should go lay back down and sleep a little....seriously, it'll be great". Then when I go to lay down it says "AHAAAA, GOTCHA BITCH!!!".
Damn I just want a power nap right now.
