It is 6:15 on a Saturday morning. I should be upstairs, dreaming peacefully, enjoying the chance to sleep in...but I'm not. It's not that I'm not tired, as a matter of fact, I'm yawning as I write this, but for some stupid reason my body has decided it is finished sleeping...and has been for a good 40 minutes. This might not be so bad if I had gone to bed at 9:00 last night, but my eyelids didn't get droopy until after 11:00.
I have been a night person for as long as I can remember. Even now, most nights I would have no problem staying up 'til midnight or later. During the summers I still occassionally do. On those nights I usually tell myself I have to go to bed, rather than my body telling me it needs to sleep.
The problem is, that over the years I have been forced to become more of a morning person as well. I understand that it is necessary that I be up early during the week, and that I be functional as well....but it would be far easier to do if I could sleep more than 5 or 6 hours!!!! And on the weekends, when I COULD sleep in I SHOULD be able to!! But NOOOOO!!!!
It should be biologically impossible to be both a night person AND a morning person! RIGHT?!! I mean seriously!!!
I must be genetically flawed somehow!! Just one more annowing trait that I have inherited, like the thick eyebrows and mustache that I've had since high school, and the chin hairs that started a decade ago. Oh, and then there's the fact that I'm still dealing with zits while at the same time battling wrinkles....How unfair is that!!! Bad joints, veiny legs, and the tendency to make wierd noises as I'm falling asleep....just some of the things I owe to my DNA.
And now...I don't sleep!
I'd try to delude myself, and say that it will get better, but I know how well my mom sleeps at night....and I'm doomed! I will just be perpetually tired for the rest of my life!
