Lie-in misery
September 22, 2007 • 11:23 am
This is another reason why we should instigate Mourning Morning as quickly as possible. I have been looking forward to sleepily staying in bed this Saturday morning all week, but apparently my body got so much good quality sleep that it decided that 7.30 was a good time to be fully awake.
Naturally I completely disagreed, so forced myself to go back to sleep. I even tried to emulate Monday morning by getting my alarm clock to go off every 9 minutes (true alarm clocks go off every 9 minutes after snooze, not 10 — but here’s the mystery: nobody knows why*). I stretched out the lie-in until 11.11, and then was forced to get out of bed because I was aching and filled with misery. So much for lie-ins I tell you. It’s horrible. I’ve been getting up at 6 for the last, well, ever it seems, and I’m tired of it. No pun intended. This is too serious for puns.
What has happened to my student ability to sleep? I used to be able to waste my life perfectly happily, and now I can’t bear to stay in bed much past 9 before my conscience goes mental. Why, it’s almost as if I’m becoming a useful member of society.
The worst part is the the only vestige of the student lifestyle I have left is my poor, crippled finances. A cosmic joke, if ever there was one.
Anyway, I’d better get dressed. The house needs hoovering.
* This is true, actually, look it up.

You have my sympathy, is this a man thing? My husband works from home and when his work load will let him, he routinely stays in bed until about ten to nine before sloping upstairs to his office in his pyjamas. Conversely at the weekends, he’s up and out by about 7 am. His warped logic is that it’s because at the weekend his time is his own, as opposed to his employers’ (there’s more than one) and so he wants to make the most of it.
Could this need to enjoy the time that belongs to YOU be the route of your problem?

No, because lying in is something I want to do with the time that belongs to me :)
I’m just on a different body clock these days, no real problem.
