I am a Night Owl. Completely. Utterly. Through and Through. In fact, If I could sleep until 11am every morning and be awake until 3am - that would suit me juuuust fine. Midnight is right around my peak-waking hour.
Husband on the other hand, is a Morning Sparrow. His alarm goes off and he's all like
"Oh HEY! MORNING!!"
I want to SMACK morning, in the face.
With a chair.
In fact, i think if husband and I lived our weeks according to our natural body clocks -

I really don't think we'd ever see each other.
anyway.
Because I am such a night owl - as evening and "bedtime" (pfft) draws near, my brain kicks into epic overdrive. There's nothing I can do - my mind just starts thinking/plotting/planning/creating/designing/making/crafting -
which leads me to
INSOMNIA.
(and yes, I have a million notebooks/books/magazines/pens/puzzles etc next to my bed to

write it down, distract myself etc. etc.)
The insomnia - it finds a way:
toss.
turn.
toss.
hot.
cold.
too many blankets.
not enough blankets.
toss.
turn.
tick.
tick.
toss.
on your back.
on your side.
on your stomach.
hot.

grumble.
You probably shouldn't wake your husband -
who has a long day ahead of him at work in the morning.
But, also -
it's 3am in the morning and who are you to talk to?

You're freaking welcome.
This is Thomas too! Once he's asleep that's it - he's out cold. Bah!! I feel your pain x
ReplyDeleteI had it AGAIN last night too :-/
ReplyDeletei totally took a sleeping tablet last night. (after two nights of not sleeping) (actually there was a sleeping tablet just next to my bed with a glass of water waiting for me after I got back from a friends place). aaaah.... the trust of marriage - "just ingest whatever pill your husband has put next to the bed for you" lol. hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing worse....except perhaps the toothache
ReplyDeleteSending the horse tranquilizers back with Andy's stepdad for you xxx
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH! Love it - instead of being a feeder, Warr is your dealer (you get what I mean!) Im going to have a glass of wine and lots of rescue tonight - that should do the trick for me!
ReplyDeleteLOL'ed when the drums came out. Really? Haha. The punch line was totes funny!
ReplyDeleteThis is so bloody funny...still laughing :)
ReplyDeleteOh the LOLs of this! I LOL'ed hard because I do this. Only I'm not bringing the drums out to chat with the husband. No, no. The husband is a snorer. So if I'm not sleeping, I want some quiet whilst my brain is on full 'LET'S THINK OF ALL THE IDEAS. RIGHT NOW. ALL NIGHT.' And snoring is something akin to nails on chalkboard for me. But generally, if I have a few nights of this, which is often(!), then I just start living to my own timetable because those ideas are GOLD! Especially the 4am ones! My best writing has come from that time of the morning! I get funny when I get insomnia.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain!! And morning... WTF?! Who is friends with that mothertrucker anyway?! x
ReplyDeletehahaha i KNOW. MORNINGS: ain't NOBODY got time for that!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! That morning gremlin face is exactly how I feel anytime someone wakes me up! I'm a night owl, but I also have the magical ability to sleep anytime, anywhere (and would spend a lot more time asleep in my car in traffic etc, if it weren't dangerous). My lack of night time sleep is more a case of fomo and wanting to do more stuff than not being able to sleep.
ReplyDeleteAw, I feel your pain so much. But at least your husband sleeps. We are both light sleepers, which is the worst. Because when I wake up in the middle of the night I'm like "want to crawl out of my skin/ check facebook/ read a book/ watch tv/ get water/ go to the loo/ talk to the cat" but I can't do any of that because fiance-man will wake up and be super grumpy all night/ day. Seriously, the sound of book pages rustling wakes him up.
ReplyDeletei totally get you about sleeping on transport! cars, buses, trains... but planes... can NEVER sleep on planes! (of course) haha
ReplyDeletehaha! yep! when i am awake at night i am AWAKE! luckily for me though - warren likes the sound of book pages - so... literature for the win! haha
ReplyDeleteYOU CRACK ME UP!!!!
