Fri 1 September 2006 - So tired of waking up tired

I just know I’m going to be tired later today.

Last night I got to bed about 11:30pm or so… but couldn’t sleep. Maybe a combination of the… well, not exactly heat, but certainly an unexpected lack of cold, and the ideas swimming in my head (which I’ll tell you about another time).

I got up again at about 12:20 for a few minutes to try and quash the brain activity by some temporary computer-generated stimulus, then tried again to sleep.

By 1:15 I was still tossing and turning. Got up again, grabbed an issue of Geek Monthly to read in bed for a few minutes, then hit the pillow again at 1:30. And finally slept.

Inevitably, due to the light at this time of year, I was awake again by 6:45. Well short of the seven hours sleep I normally need to function.

Sometime later today, it’s going to be yawn-O-rama, I just know it.

In fact, when I’ve finished breakfast I might see if my body will agree to trying to get back to sleep for a short while.
