insomnia

Have you ever tried to sleep in but you get to the point where the sun is shining in and your room is so bright.. and all you can think about is getting up yet all you want to do is sleep.... ? Well that is what happened to me this morning but it is okay cuz I still got to sleep in some.. like ten o'clock.. :) So I crawled out my sleeping bag.. which is tested up to negative 15 degrees.. so I stayed nice and toasty last night.. took out the retainers and munched on a pouch of fruit snakes that were in the shape of sharks...

When you wake up I think that you go into this comatose zombielike phase in which you are up but you really don't know what is going on or specifically what you are doing?? Sometimes this last for varying degrees and usually a good way to get out of this phase is to simply take a shower and truly wake up.. som choose to drink coffee but I find this method to be somewhat unattractive to me cuz I don't like the taste.. When you wake up and are in this state is kinda like swimming after you ate? How long should you wait before you do anything? go to class? go run three miles? go to work? I mean the list goes on.. What do you think the point of this state is to wake up and yet still be asleep.. with morning breathe.. messed up hair.. and scandly dressed? I think its purpose is to simply being an overlap of time between sleep and awakeness in which we can slowly become who we are without exhausting ourselves again... It is kinda like stretching before you run.. it is a time where you can mentally and physically prepare yourself for the tasks ahead of you.... Could you imagine if everyone jumped out of bad and acted exactly what they would act like it, if it was eight o'clock at night.. all smiley, energetic, and awake?? Good thing we have this period in which we can wake up slowly.. so next time when you wake up.. wake up and enjoy this amount of time in which you can feel the time slow down as you jump out of bed.. and you get to ever so slowly jump into your fast paced life only to long for another zombielike state... So enjoy it while it lasts.. But you know what is even better is that I think that you get two of this comatose states.. One when you wake up and one before you go to bed.. One you wake up slowly and the other you slowly get ready for bed.. I mean you lay down on a couch and say nah I won't fall asleep.. just going to relax for a minute which leads to you falling asleep which only makes it that much harder for you to get up and get ready for bed and go to sleep.. but those times are much enjoyable don't you think??
