Can't sleep tonight
in Health ·
I figured I’d jump in on this thread—I am a total night owl myself😁—my schedule is pretty much set in stone: I hit the hay somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00 AM and sleep until 6:00—it’s always like that. Honestly, it’s a bit of a leftover from my high school days when I was obsessed with astronomy and would spend endless nights just staring up at the stars😉—and if I accidentally crash early, say around 11:00 PM, I’ll end up wide awake by 4:00 AM feeling totally refreshed. It definitely feels tied to my internal rhythm, because I am a complete zombie in the mornings; sometimes when my husband drives me to work, I’m basically just an inanimate object in the passenger seat🤷—it’s funny, though—as soon as I go on vacation, my body immediately switches to "night mode." I’ll stay up until 3:00 AM but still wake up around 7:00 to go for a swim😲—and then I’ll take a nap between noon and 3:00 PM when the heat is at its peak😍
Sometimes I’ll start getting things done late at night—like prepping tomorrow's lunch after 10:00 PM—but you couldn't drag me out of bed to work in the morning if you tried. I love reading in the evenings, so a good book will easily keep me up until 3:00 AM—and not too long ago, I actually found myself playing World of Warcraft until 3:00 in the morning before dragging myself up at 7:00 for work🙄—(and yes, I am a serious adult and a mother😍)
On those nights when I’ve been awake far too long, I’ll just take a sleeping pill—get a solid seven hours of sleep, and then I can actually function again👍
