When was the last time you slept-in?
I should be writing a diary right now, but I am going to sleep instead. That means I will lay awake in bed feeling bad for not writing…all the while trying to come up with a subject. Doesn’t that sound melodramatic. It would be melodramatic, if it were true.
The truth is I won’t stay awake because of feeling guilty. I never do. I have not done that in years. If I let guilt stop me, I’d never get to sleep. I have the trick of thinking of either some fluffery, or conversely something deep and esoteric, that allows me to quickly wind down from the never-ending demands of the awake world. If it is not too cold or too hot, I fall asleep fast.
Someone was going to check-in on me at 11:30 a.m. today, but I am telling them to wait until 2 p.m. That way I will have at least the semblance of an orderly mind when I do finally awake to write the diary I should have written three days ago. That is what comes from getting home from work somewhere in the wee early hours of the morning.
For me at least, there is no sleep better than what others consider “guilty” sleep. Knowing that if I had just a smidgen more of discipline I would stay awake and finish whatever task is at hand, perversely seems to allow me to rest comfortably. I know that sounds counter-intuitive, but it works.
Of course, I would’ve explained all this a lot more intelligibly if I had slept in late all this week. Like I am going to do right now. You folks are awake early after a night’s sleep. You can probably digress on the joys of sleeping-in better than I. I just need to go do it.
