I like to sleep! [View All]

[Deja Q]

Most people take 8 hours per day.

I take 10.

Most people wake up refreshed and ready to face the world.

I wake up feeling groggy, wanting to stay asleep for another 2 to 14 hours because it's so nice and comfy and welcoming.

Like Al Bundy, I know that when I wake up, the day won't get any better until I go back to sleep again.

I sometimes sleep at work. Lord knows I don't want to. Even stay-awake aids don't help. Neither does coffee or those diet pills which contain tons of caffeine. When I start to feel groggy, I get up and walk around because sleeping is a no-no. I end up looking like a walking zombie.

I can't drive long drives (more than 40 miles) because I'll sleep at the wheel. This makes seeing relatives difficult. I know this because I tried driving to St Cloud once, fell asleep without realizing it, and crashed in the recessed area between the northbound and southbound lanes. Grateful I wasn't hurt at the time I suppose. I'd slept in the car driving to customers at my previous job as well.

I like to cuddle with a pillow when I sleep. It's not a person, but I know full well by now that a pillow is all I'll ever get.

Sleeping is cool.

On the other hand, sleeping is an annoyance. There are so many things in life we as a species need or want to do. (to survive is a need, but what humankind has created is actually a want.)

There, if I sound like Andy Rooney on crack, cool. :D
