Someone’s Who’s Late This Much Could Be Pregnant! AKA: Life Makes No Sense When You’re Sleep Deprived

Yesterday, I started fall quarter at my Community/Technical/Jr. College. Things did not go so well. First, my alarm clocked lied to me a changed the day it’s supposed to go off. I wanted to wake up at 10am to be ready for class at 11:15. I woke up at 11, realizing my alarm had betrayed me. Funny thing is, I did wake up on my own at 9:30ish, but went back to sleep because, “it’s not time to wake up yet, dumdum!” I guess my body is its own alarm clock. Hmm…

Anyway, I got to school at around 11:30, completely tired, and dirty. I stayed until class ended at 1:20pm then checked out some camera equipment for my internship in downtown Atlanta (TRAFFIC!). That took a little longer. I was trying to see if I could go home, take a shower, brush teeth, etc., and come back in time for my 2:15 class. I wanted to leave at 1:20, right at the end of class, I left at 1:40, got home at 1:58, and didn’t even leave home until 2:15. Late again.

Then…I stayed in my second class until it ended at 4:20, I was to go straight home and then have my mother drive my downtown where I was due for my internship at 6pm, as I am a total wimp and terrified of interstate driving. I wanted to leave at 4:45, no later. I left at 5pm. LATE!!!

All this because I can’t get to sleep. Currently the time is 2:53am, and I still can’t sleep. I don’t know why the sleep gene died on me. Not fair. Until school started yesterday, I was going to sleep at 4 or 5am and waking up at 3pm. Now I go to sleep at 3 or 4am and wake up, hopefully, at 10am? Not possible. I need the sleep. Obviously. My sentence structure is off, and I can’t see straight, and I am also not entirely sure what I’m even writing right now. I’ve got green squiggly lines under my sentences. I need Ambien. Let’s see if I can get to sleep.

Ma question pour vous est: Do you need sleep medication? Or…How do you get to sleep when you can’t?

Leave a comment, I’m not going anywhere…
