Hypersomnia Wailing Pole

I sleep and sleep and sleep after I get home from volunteering on Fridays. I walk jauntily from my car to my door, step in and shut the door behind me, let go and basically slither up the stairs and barely (maybe not at all) get into my pajamas and go to sleep while its still daylight. I wake up hungry, eat, go back to bed and sleep until after noon the next day.

I asked my brother how I used to work 30 hours a week at the hospital and now 4 hours of volunteering does this to me. He opined that I was never quite letting go of the tension before because I had to go back in the next day or two. I kept myself at standby. Now that I'm retired I'm completely letting go.

I think for the first time I am actually appreciating how much energy even an easy social occasion takes because I have an actual state of relaxation to compare it to.

No wonder I used to be so angry all the time.

 

Inevitable result of having tossed and turned for 3 hours last night and gotten 4 hours of sleep: I am now awake and everything in the whole world looks soft and pillowy. Ugh.

 

*blearily salutes with energy drink* Ugh indeed.

 

I went to bed at 11am and got up and 3am and only the cat's awake, but at least I got some sleep. That doesn't happen often.

 

Upd8 visited my grandma, told her about sleeplessness, immediately got a dark room with warm blankies and some soft lavender microfiber pajamas and am gonna take a 2hr nap :B

 

I am regularly sleeping through my alarms these days. It's really annoying, because then I feel I don't have enough time to do stuff in the morning, and I feel rushed and like I am going to be late. Even though I probably won't be late.

 

Today: Wake up at 2 in the afternoon. Drink coffee and fart around for an hour. Go back to sleep.

 

went to bed at midnight, woke up at 9am, came home, ate breakfast, went back for a nap from 10a - 1:30pm, woke up, studied for the GRE some, now I'm back in bed at 4 winding down for another nap before people come over. yay?

 

I slept through my alarm again this morning. Through two of them actually. Though I did wake up, I just turned off the alarm and rolled over and slept again.

 

It's 3 in the afternoon and damn if I don't need a nap. I always need a nap this time of day.

 

Can we make a club and a flag for everyone who needs naps at 3pm? I totally relate to this hardcore.

 

We can meet at 4, after our naps.

 

can we meet at 6? I take long naps...

 

6:30 might be best. Then I can take my early-evening nap beforehand!

 

I want to go to bed again and sleep some more. I don't want to go to the hospital at stupid early o'clock :(
