Most Days, This is Me by about 11 AM |
You’re not going to believe this, but I got a good nights sleep for once last Monday, and it really did help my productivity. Like I was kind of amazed that all those studies about 8 solid hours of sleep were actually true. Maybe scientists have a useful role in our society after all.
Generally I just assume coffee will help me out, but this was like me on coffee, on steroids, with someone shooting me with HGH just to top it off. Couldn’t believe it, it’s been so long since I’ve gotten a nights sleep like that, that I forgot what its about. I've hit a weird point in my life where sleeping in means Saturday or Sunday morning when I’m hungover…for the most part other than that I’m up and spry at 8 AM ready to go, no matter what day of the week, no matter what I have to do that day. Its like an old man alarm clock….which would be fine if I had an old man bed time, but I don’t. Ever since I realized I could watch The Office re-runs from 11:30-1AM, I do just that.
Like I’m plain exhausted but forcing myself to stay awake. And it’s not that I haven’t seen them before or can’t whenever I want, I have all the DVD’s, I just feel oddly compelled to watch the entire episode, like I’m cheating on Michael Scott in some kind of odd-non-homo-erotic kind of way if I fall asleep while he’s on screen…I give him more respect than I did some college professors in that regard, and they held the keys to my future, all Michael Scott determines is whether I’ll be cranky the next day or not.
