Sleepless on Earth

Sometimes, I wake up at a ridiculous time like 2:40 am. For no reason. At least that’s how it feels initially. Later on it can turn out that there’s something bugging me and that’s why I can’t sleep. But not initially. Nothing. Not even an urgent need to visit a toilet or anything like that. And I can’t fall asleep again. As if it was really time to get up. After all I slept something like two and half hours in total, so it must be enough.

I’m awake enough to realize that this was not really enough sleep so I try to fall asleep. Of course it doesn’t work because the harder I try the more awake I feel. After an hour or so I give up and get up. I wonder what’s the connection between “give up” and “get up”? By that time it’s almost 4 am so it doesn’t feel so weird to be up anymore. But still, what can you do at such an early time? Wash dishes – there are always some left from the dinner. And maybe clean the cooker – that’s also because of the dinner. And then? Hmm, how about writing a post on how it is to wake up at such a ridiculous time. Problem is, just because it’s early doesn’t mean I’ve got any great ideas in my head so the post is not going to be anything fantastic. And the worst part? Between 6 and 7 am I’ll probably start feeling drowsy and would want to fall asleep again. Of course at that time it’s a bit too late for that as I should be really going to work. Because, this story doesn’t happen on a weekend night, nope.

So here I am, wondering how to survive this day without ingesting excessive amounts of legal stimulants which in this part of the world equals caffeine. And no, taking a day off is off limits, I’ve got a very busy schedule. Hopefully the business (as in the process of being busy) will keep me from falling asleep. After all I did sleep more than 2 hours so it shouldn’t be too bad. Hmm, maybe I’ll do some exercise before going to work, this used to give me an energy boost.

I must admit I got distracted, I was looking for reviews of this laptop. Quite nice specs for this price. Even comes without Windows which is a good thing if you don’t want to give any money to Microsoft just because you’re buying a computer.

Actually it looks like the drowsiness came earlier than expected this time. I’m wondering if I should try get a few zzz’s before breakfast.
