Five hours later....
I have been trying to fall back to sleep for over an hour now but have finally conceded that it aint going to happen and now I'm up and screwed for the entire day.
I have always been a guy who needed his eight hours of sleep to feel energized,recharged and ready to slam through another day.Without a full night sleep,I've always felt not quite myself and lacked that skip in my step that kept me ahead of the pack each day.It's been that way as long as I can remember.
The problem now is that I use to be able to sleep-in no problem.I have always been a bit of a night hawk.Going to bed at 2:00am simple meant that I would wake up at 10:00am which was never a problem and it fit my schedule perfectly.When I went to school,I don't think I ever had a class before 10:30am and after I finished school I opened my own Skateboard shop which didn't open until 11:00am each morning.
Now that I am in the bushiness of making television for a living,I still don't usually have to be anywhere before 10:30 or 11:00am on any given day.If I stay up late which I don't do that much anymore,it's still no big deal except that I can't seem to sleep in any more.The last few years have been pretty stressful I have to admit but it's like I can't ever relax enough to even get a normal nights sleep.As soon as I wake up in the morning I get thinking of all kinds of the stupid shit I have going on and then I'm pouched like this morning.
I went to bed at around 2:20am and five hours later I'm awake and unable to fall back asleep.It really sucks because I have a busy day ahead of me and I need to be on the ball when meeting with some of these people today but here I am with that not quite myself feeling!
I guess that's why I have started going to bed a little early each night the last few years.No matter what time I crash at night, I always seem to wake up way before 10:00am like I did in the good old days when my head wasn't so packed full of shit to deal with on a daily basis.
So I'm up and movin on with my day here.I never use to drink coffee but I can tell you right now,I'll probably have two cups of it by 9:30am even though I should still be sleeping at that time in the morning.
Have a good day everyone and stay off the coffee.I'm pretty sure it's not all that good for you.
Later,
JR
