#weird sleep patterns

[hazel2468]

Why is it that every time I go to sleep early, I wake up like three or four hours later starving and energized? I went to sleep at like fucking eleven, and then I woke up at 2, and now I’m eating because my stomach was growling too much to ignore. WTF?

I’m supposed to be awake-awake in like five or six hours for our trip to the Botanical Gardens, and now, I’m going to be falling on my face all through our three-year anniversary. 

Oh BTW today is me and Cyn’s three year anniversary. So at least there’s that to smile about non-stop today. :)

Alright, so I have an unusual sleep schedule...

And my grandmother, who is extremely old fashioned, and I were talking about it last week. And she told me something I think most people don't understand: she said, "you work until 9pm, get home at about 9:45 and then have to have dinner and wind down. Winding down takes longer when your brain has NEEDED to function until at least 10pm to accomplish what needs to get done. Add to that that there are chores that need to be done in your home like laundry, dishes, and cleaning; on a good day, that means your brain has to function until 11pm. Don't let someone make you feel bad for not getting to fall asleep until 2 or 3 am and then getting up at 11am to get ready for work. You're working a full time job and taking care of your home and yourself, that's tough with any sleep schedule, but you're making it work with yours. Honey, do what's good for you and sleep as long as you need to to be well rested." And I think that's super important for people to hear.

There are worse things than waking up at 3am and finding yourself sprawled on the hardwood floor. The sad bit is that I remember the few seconds before passing out just being resigned with the thought that this was the second night in the row that this is happening.

Why is it when I go to class I could fall asleep in my seat or on any chair/floor in the library, but the moment I get home and crawl into my nice, comfy bed I cannot for the life of me fall asleep?

All I want is to be able to take a nap in my own bed.

The time of the day I get the most phone calls happens to be the moment right before I'm about to fall asleep. these calls are from my bf and my parents telling me to go to sleep...
