Mornings are balls
Mar. 1st, 2012 12:16 pmI've never been a morning person (except when I'm tormenting Trainees for 6am deck scrub, but that's totally different), but normally I'm still pretty functional, if slow right after I've woken up. I've also got a pretty good internal clock, so most often I wake up right before or with my alarm. I don't want to be up, but I know I have to be, so I only lounge a bit before heading for the shower.
I attribute this ability to be functional before I'm really awake to the years spent sailing when I was a teenager. Watch-keeping is a bitch and they make you get up and actually do things at any time of the night or day. Then I started doing archaeology in super hot places, and even my staunch non-morning-person-ness could not make me want to sleep in and work during the heat of the day instead.
The point is, despite being very much not a morning person, I'm still quite functional and capable without really being awake.
But the last couple of days have been kind of brutal. Yesterday I slept in until 11 and turned off two alarms in my sleep. I didn't have class or anything, but I did end up late for my sitting at the bake sale table duties. Then when I got home I realized that I'd taken the ground beef out of the freezer to thaw before I left. I don't remember doing this! Also I don't usually leave meat out of the Fridge when no one's at home. But it was for the best since it was still kinda frozen when it was time to make meatloaf (which was tasty).
This morning I dreamt that I slept in a whole lot and then woke up to my alarm at 8. And I really didn't want to get out of bed at all so I read for a while instead of waking up.
Just now I went to make breakfast and I poured juice in my tea instead of milk. I tasted it. It was gross.
I didn't even think I was that asleep still.
I am super tired. And everyone else seems to be too. Hopefully I go back to being competent while asleep though.
