I’m so pissed off at myself, it’s unreal. I went to sleep around 1am anticipating that I’d be up early and I’d get myself back on track with my daily routines. So when I woke up at 3pm this afternoon I was freaking pissed. How the hell did I sleep for 14 hours? I know I only had two hours last night but why the hell couldn’t the first 8 hours cover what I missed yesterday? I knew before I went to sleep that I should have set the alarm. But I also know that I told Sean that I’m going to be up EARLY today and he was up all night long and for most of the day but never bothered coming into the bedroom and waking me up around the time he knew I wanted to be up “You needed the sleep” – no I didn’t freaking need the sleep – I have work to do!
How is it that every work-at-homer I know, is capable if sleeping on normal hours? Why am I the only one who just can’t seem to get it right? I typically only do about 10 hours of work a day and even if I woke up at 9am I’d be done by 7pm – that gives me more than enough time to get myself in bed by midnight at the latest. So how exactly do you retrain yourself to go on a normal schedule? I’m having a hell of a time figuring this out.
Heh, technically I’m a work-at-home person as well and I can’t do the normal sleep hours either. Wednesday I woke up early (hooray for me!) then after getting some things accomplished I went on an anime-binge fest since I had just downloaded the entire series watched it straight, put in a few more hours of work and lo-and-behold it was 5pm on Thursday. I went to bed finally and woke up at 11am on Friday. WTH?
So yeah, you’re not alone.
With me it seems like the later I stay up the earlier I wake up in the morning and the earlier I got to bed the later I sleep in. Everything is backwards with me I guess.
Shauna, I’m actually the same way sometimes. I can crash around 5am and still be up by noon. But if I go to sleep around midnight, I’ll sleep until 4 in the afternoon. It’s really quite annoying!
