Well I like to think that the first hour of my day is when I go to sleep given the fact that I’m not a morning person. Unfortunately, the powers that be disagree with this theory. The powers that be is one of the many nicknames I give my mother who I like to think is still in charge of me even at my age. Though this is a fact that she would dispute. Most of the time, I go to bed all hours of the night due my schedule, (brief as it is,) not allowing my to watch any significant tv as I cannot bring myself to watch it without having to pause and pick up where I left off if something is expected to happen or if there’s a phone call that may divert my attention from what I’m watching, ETC. As I have explained to mom and others in the past, I need to be able to watch something from start to finish in order to enjoy it and that cannot happen if I’m constantly interrupted. I lose sight of what happened prior to the interruption and find myself having to start again from the top the next time I watch it. With this opinion, really the only time I get to watch anything concrete is after everybody has gone to bed and there’s very little possibility of my phone ringing, pretty much there’s nothing going on therefore I can comfortably sit and enjoy watching something. The problem is that some nights, I’m too tired or even sick enough not to even turn on the tv and other nights, the need for the bathroom sometimes throws a wrench into my plans. Therefore my morning consists of the following routine which is one that I can only sometimes live with.
My alarm is consistently set even when there’s no need to set it, (when I don’t have a reason to get up,) as I need to call mom around 8 a.m. for our morning call before she goes to work and if I don’t call her, I get anxious as my day only starts after I have spoken to her and cannot imagine a day where this does not happen. This sometimes changes if she starts work later in the day but for the most part, 8 o clock is our time to call.
I go back to sleep after getting an answer from her only to be disturbed by staff for my scheduled 9 a.m. call, (a group of people who I have struggled to accept that they have a scheduled time for me despite this time inconveniencing my decision to be a non morning person.) This care consists of a shower four times a week and dressing for the day along with my leg stretches.
I go back to sleep and wake up at around lunch time still feeling tired from lack of sleep.
Most mornings, I do not sleep completely until my alarm wakes me up as my bladder/bowels decide when I wake up despite me trying to suppress the urge to sleep longer.
Pretty much, even though I don’t work, mornings are hell for me and it’s even worse when I actually have something to do in the morning which results in me being up even earlier than my normal time which is 9 a.m. which is hard enough to deal with as it is.
I’m going to make this real simple. If someone was to eliminate mornings or at least make it impossible for anybody to ever be tired, I wouldn’t mind but the fact remains that mornings are simply not my thing.
