...Sleeeeep...

So I don't know what's come over me, but I've been having the hardest time sleeping lately. This past week I haven't been able to go to sleep before 2 or 3 in the morning, and I am not happy about that fact. You see, I talk to Josh every night before he goes to sleep (at an old-man hour, naturally) and usually I can just fall asleep after we talk because I've got nothing else to do. Well lately my mind has been just buzzing with all kinds of thoughts and I can't make it shut up enough to slip into unconsciousness. For the past six days I've been sleeping in until ten or so every morning to make up for the late falling-asleep hour, but yesterday completely took the cake.

You see, last night I went and saw Glee Live with my sister (Rachel1) and we grabbed some In and Out (twss) afterwards. So it was around midnight when I finally got to talk to Josh while I ate my animal-style fries. That was all fine and dandy except that Josh was super tired (again, old man sleeping habits) so we didn't talk long. Then I was stuck with a body that was practically vibrating with energy from the sugar and grease I'd just consumed. Not. Awesome. I watched a LOT of tv last night.

I woke up at 7 this morning since we have church at 8. But I only fell asleep at 5:45 this morning. And I can't take a nap because my brain won't shut up. FML.

You know how zombies are supposedly really into eating brains or whatever? And how they wander around towns groaning, "Braaaaaainssss....braaaaainnnnssss..."? You know what I'm talking about? I'm pretty sure they became zombies because they couldn't get enough sleep and they wander around bemoaning the fact that they can't get their brains to shut up.

I think I'm a zombie.

  1. Sad day. I don't have that problem because my brain is completely dormant, so I can't empathize. But I do sympathize.

  4. I empathize. to make my mom let me go hang out with friends last week I had to agree to go to bed every day for a week at 10:30. awesome. I'll finally get enough sleep, right? wrong! I go to bed but can't fall asleep because my brain won't turn off, so I lay there for hours staring at the ceiling. *sigh* at least we can be zombie buddies together!
