Sleepless awake
Now the time is quarter to eight in the morning, and it is monday. I am awake and have been so since noon yesterday. It is not like I have been sitting starring at the tele all night long. I went to bed at midnight with the optimistic notion that it would make me rise up earlier than usual. However, ever since I got back from Ethiopia I have developed a minor sleep disorder, or insomnia might be another word for it. I simply cannot sleep at all. On a regular night I usually fall asleep at around four in the morning. Leading ofcourse me to wake up towards noon the next day.
So, last night I was spending 7 glorious hours starring at the ceiling in my room. Though, here is the funny segment. The expected result of that should be me feeling like a walking-dead right now, but I don't. I simply feel like a newly awoken fresh individual. More fresh than usually in the mornings.
Now, I have two ideas of what this is due to. First, I have simply not slept at all which leads me to think that I am still on the same day as yesterday and hence I have not allowed myself to be tired just yet. Probably, if so, I will crash and burn in a couple of hours.
The second conclusion I have drawn is that I got more rest by simply lying still in my bed resting, than I usually get by sleeping late and waking up in the middle of the day.
Either way I feel good and probably will last the rest of the day, and atleast I can be assured that tonight I will be sufficiently tired to fall asleep on a decent hour and revive my day rythm.
Good morning to you all and hope you'll have a pleasant day.
The way it looks right now outside my house. Haven't seen a morning at home for quite a while.
