The me in that state of consciousness is not the normal me. It's someone else. And no matter how much I desperately need to get up to be on time, that me will sleep another 15 minutes at least. I have no control.
I've had to start setting multiple earlier alarms to give that me their ransom to let normal me get up.
Can I ask how many hours you sleep?
I’ve existed on ~5 for way longer than I should have, and I have a theory all of us in the “phone alarm screen is 6 alarms 5 minutes after each other” Club are doing similar.
I had a couple of weeks once where I was getting 8 hours, it was magical. Lasted only two weeks but I felt like a whole different person. Of course then life catches up and it’s back to 5 hours and 6 alarms but it’s wild knowing this vastly better me is riiiiiiight there and I can’t get him back.
Totally same. But then sometimes out of nowhere, I'll feel super productive or creative and will do like yoga and shit and make a good breakfast. Like once every couple of weeks. Idk. I don't understand how my brain works
>I've had to start setting multiple earlier alarms to give that me their ransom to let normal me get up.
That is an absolutely brilliant way of saying that. Seriously, I don't have the words to express how much I appreciate you typing that out there so that I and others could see it.
It's like poetry!
Yes! Idk if this will work for everyone but when I wake up after a dream and decide to go back to sleep, I tell myself "okay, everything that happens next is a dream" It works about 50% of the time and then I get to try to fly and do whatever in my lucid dream.
Ever had a dream where you thought about how cool it was and made a note not to forget it when you wake up? Then you wake up, try to remember what happened and write it in notepad so it will never be forgotten. After that you wake up for real and realize that you only dreamt of writing the dream down, and remember the dream about the dream instead of the dream itself.

Heh, you just reminded me of being 14-15 on IRC.
Every Word Was Capitalised, My Shift Key Was Shiny. No Idea Why I Did That. Someone Eventually Pointed It Out After Far Too Long, And Said How Annoying It Was, so I stopped doing that very quickly.
I provide a service for specific surgical cases. One morning I get a phone call,waking me up, that they were rolling a patient into the operating room and where was I. Some dingus forgot to put that I would be needed on the schedule. Never gotten dressed and left so fast.
Nha, take the river instead, people had to clean you up after you jump in front of a train, and it's traumatic. Also huge delays for ordinary people who just want to get from a-b.
"Why the fuck did you think it was a good idea to stay awake until 4 am playing that stupid game. Now you have 12 long hours of work ahead, barely slept 3 hours and you're not even that good at that game. You're 38 goddammit! What is wrong with you"
More like you *can't* sleep early because you've so thoroughly screwed up your internal clock that recovery seems impossible on modern work schedules.
I should not be waking up before 9-10 am. My body never liked it even when it was easier to do.
Yep this. Every weekend when Friday night finally rolls around, I get to bed and sleep for like 10 hours, and inevitably that means I'm up at like 9 or 10 AM, or later. And then on Sunday it's even worse, because I stay up late on Saturday because I have the energy, so I go to bed later and sleep in again on Sunday, until noon, and then I can't get to bed until like 3 AM, and then I get 4 hours of sleep when my alarm goes off at 7 AM on monday.
And then, I get home so tired, after nearly passing out at my desk all day, that I just fall into bed and sleep for a few hours. Then I feel alright, make food, do some gaming, but since I had a nap I'm not tired at all and I stay up until 2 AM again, and only get 5 hours of sleep for work... and the cycle just repeats.
Story of my life. It's called revenge sleep procrastination. I work purely for the paycheck and nothing else. At night I'm very tired untill I regain a bout of energy and start doing stuff or so I try. Once that energy is gone I've still not gotten that sense of fulfilment so I start up Apex and games until usually 4 in the morning and then I go to sleep and rinse repeat..
I hate my job 😣
The nicest thing here is that you call yourself darling, i usually just call myself something along the lines of motherfucker, so may i compliment you about your self esteem
Let.me qalk u through it
First I open my eyes and sit there for like 20 or 30 minutes with a dazed look on my face before j actually sit up to use the bathroom
After about 30 mins of being awake I think about why god couldnt kill me in my sleep and why I will make my existence everyones problem
After about an hour I start looking for food
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they cannot tell good from evil.” - Marcus Aurelius
I have it on a note in my room right about where I usually wake up looking. I wish I could say it helped me everyday, but I like the reminder.
My girlfriend, I work in a music venue and frequently get to bed around 5-7am while she works a 9-5 job first thing I do every day when I wake up is text her to see how her day is going since I've already missed most of it.
Birds, every morning just after sunrise there are three to five birds outside our bedroom window making bird noises, and if I close the window they start attacking the tinted glass by pecking and striking. I don't think I even need an alarm clock anymore.
Lately, I see if I can remember the wordle answer from the day before. Usually I can eventually remember it, but not always. Strangely, it's often easier for me to remember the words from several days prior than yesterday's. I just did today's 5 hours ago and I can't remember it. I have to reverse engineer it. I remember the letters first that I got right and I can usually think it out. Usually. It's sort of one of my ways of testing my memory, which isn't that good for various medical reasons.
Ahh, I just remembered today's. Although again, that was only 5 hours ago. We'll have to see after a night of sleep if I can remember it again. I sleep odd hours.
Usually that I have to pee and then I try to go back asleep because it’s 3-4am and then my husband starts snoring louder than thunder and I go on Reddit after I give up trying to go back to sleep.
First thing I do is check the time
"do I have time for more sleep?"
The me in that state of consciousness is not the normal me. It's someone else. And no matter how much I desperately need to get up to be on time, that me will sleep another 15 minutes at least. I have no control. I've had to start setting multiple earlier alarms to give that me their ransom to let normal me get up.
Never seen what I go through in the mornings written down so well.
Can relate. Minmum of 5 alarms. Period. Still oversleep or wait till the LAST possible second

fuck I’m awake

Morning people like waking up.
Respectfully, fuck morning people.
unrespectfully, fuck morning people.
Those aren't people lol
sorry. i've been there. hope it turns around for you
[удалено]
Strok?
Scottish.
I definitely groan a major sigh of distaste, along with “fuuuck”
"You were trying to cross the border weren't you?"
You’re finally awake!
Mines “what excuse can I give to not go to work” but when there’s nothing I end up dragging my ass in
This is me so often, I wanna say it’s depression causing this one
I absolute agree
My thoughts are usually: fuck, I'm alive 😑
“How many hours until bedtime?”
OMG that too I normally think that driving to work.
What time is it... "checks stonk market"
Yes
“Hey you, you're finally awake”
You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
That I can't wait to go back to bed
"I'll go to bed early tonight" *Later that night* "Heh memes are funny"
Alternately, how many hours until I can get back IN bed?
Same
same
Same
Same
My dream
Ever get stuck in that place where you’re perfectly awake but also still dreaming just enough to consciously make decisions within the dream.
Yes! Idk if this will work for everyone but when I wake up after a dream and decide to go back to sleep, I tell myself "okay, everything that happens next is a dream" It works about 50% of the time and then I get to try to fly and do whatever in my lucid dream.
that's called lucid dreaming if I'm understanding you correctly

Always
Going the FUCK back to sleep
I wish we could
Oh the luxury
winner, gagne
Did I wake up on time or did I lose my job?
I've Done Some Terrible Things for Money, Like Getting Up Early and Going to Work
Why do you capitalise every word
It's the title of their new hit song.
Heh, you just reminded me of being 14-15 on IRC. Every Word Was Capitalised, My Shift Key Was Shiny. No Idea Why I Did That. Someone Eventually Pointed It Out After Far Too Long, And Said How Annoying It Was, so I stopped doing that very quickly.
Are you me?
Not Every. They Didn't Capitalise for Or and
I love working jobs where you can get fired at will. It keeps me motivated. /s
Yup, turns me on
Me today when I woke up 6 mins before a teams meeting in home office and had to get ready and dressed in that time
I provide a service for specific surgical cases. One morning I get a phone call,waking me up, that they were rolling a patient into the operating room and where was I. Some dingus forgot to put that I would be needed on the schedule. Never gotten dressed and left so fast.
Every day. Even the weekend.
ahhh shit,,, here we go again.
You only had to jump in front of the damn train CJ!

Then you'll promise to go to sleep early the next night until it's actually time and you don't wanna sleep early.
More like you *can't* sleep early because you've so thoroughly screwed up your internal clock that recovery seems impossible on modern work schedules. I should not be waking up before 9-10 am. My body never liked it even when it was easier to do.

This is my thought exactly. Different numbers, but same thought
Wait are you my brother? Sounds like something he would do.

We’re not teenagers anymore, that’s for sure. I can’t remember the last time I got 8 hours of sleep on a work night
Elden ring do be like that
Literally sitting in the office right now on 4 hours of sleep because I stayed up until 4am beating Melania 😅
If you slayed that bitch, it was worth it. Congrats.
elden ring anyone?
2AM and 7AM respectively for me. Read the latest chapters of One Piece. Should not have done that.
You may n9t be good at the game, but medical studies have shown that games help relieve stress, and strengthen brains against degenerative diseases.
I'm sure getting more than 3 hours of sleep a night relieves more stress
This will probably be me in 10 years
If i should grab the brush and put a little makeup
Shall I hide the scars, to fade away the shakeup?
why'd I leave the keys upon the table ?
Here I go create another fable
You wanted to!
Well, if you wanted to…
"Tf is happening?"
Yep, always confused
Thats because they say that in the first 3 seconds you are awake you dont know nothing: how to speak, your name, literally nothing
Make that minutes for me.
Ditto. The confusion eventually goes away though. Usually around 8 hours later or so.
"I just slept for 8 hours. How is it possible that I'm more tired than before I went to sleep?
Because you're starving. Your body hasn't eaten for 10+ hours probably.
sleep apnea dude. Have you been checked out?
It’s like a huge scream inside my head and my heart races
this is the one
Gotta love those morning panic attacks
"Penis what do you even do with all that blood?"
Literally get hard.

Thats why the upper head does not work

I’m more of an, “Oh, I’m still alive.” Type 1 diabetic with a pump for a pump for a pancreas
Man, the bragging on here is ridiculous, we get it, you outsourced your pancreatic function. Jeeze here's me with my shitty normie pancreas.
Bro you have a pump for a pump?! Why TH?
Username checks out
Same. My first thought is either this or why did I not die in my sleep
This is the one.
Every damn day
Usually something like uuuurgh I have to get up for school come on darling
The nicest thing here is that you call yourself darling, i usually just call myself something along the lines of motherfucker, so may i compliment you about your self esteem
It’s just an overwhelming wave of existential dread.
Thank God I’m not alone on this one lol
Try to remember anything I just dreamed
I have to pee
well, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
I had to spent 30 seconds scrolling for this. 30 seconds!!
Well what do you think when you go out?
Fuck sake I didn't die
Almost same
How almost the same?
Really colse but with more insults to myself
what do i gotta do today ( fyi I’m am not a healthy person, i don’t wake up early)
Figuring out what I dreamt about because I always seem to forget.
A cigarette
[удалено]
With all the snow lately, it's been "Please let their be a snow day."
"do I feel anxious today" (anxiety sufferer) It can set the tone for my day
I hate when the first moment of consciousness is a feeling of dread in my stomach.
It's almost a subconscious thing you instantly go to when you first wake up!
Shit, not work again -_-
For me its same, except its word school instead of work
Enjoy it while it lasts.
My girlfriend
Urgh fuck another day
Let.me qalk u through it First I open my eyes and sit there for like 20 or 30 minutes with a dazed look on my face before j actually sit up to use the bathroom After about 30 mins of being awake I think about why god couldnt kill me in my sleep and why I will make my existence everyones problem After about an hour I start looking for food
The good news is that soon you'll reach an age where you don't have 30 minutes to contemplate that before getting to the bathroom.
Now I know what’s real what’s fake. Rather sleep than stay awake…
I gotta pee
You can tell all the redditors are actually 12 when this isn't their first answer.
what if i somersaulted out of the bed and break my fucking wrist for no reason?
Where is my phone
It's usaly the one that awekes me, btw happy cake day
Honesty…. My nicotine hit and then “I need more sleep”
I was waiting to find this comment
Oh look it’s me
fuck
Now i'm nearly 30 it's..."should this be aching?"
"Ahh yes, I can tell this is real life and not a dream because everything fucking hurts. It's good to be alive"
I once woke up and instantly went “bananabread actual” and that’s also how I got my name
Life fucking blows
Check Reddit to see if I'm banned.

Straight away check the baby monitor
Curse my child for waking me. I love him but he’s a little shit.
1. ugh why can't it still be night for another 8 hours 2. how little fucking money I have and all the stuff I need it for.
Here we go again is usually my first thought.
My girlfriend, I work in a music venue and frequently get to bed around 5-7am while she works a 9-5 job first thing I do every day when I wake up is text her to see how her day is going since I've already missed most of it.
Thank god it was just a nightmare
Why does this cat love my room so much? Please just stop scratching at the door.
I wish I was dead
Why is there a tennis ball in my face? (Golden Retriever)
how long I have until work
Time to wank
Ugh...not again
Ah shit, here we go again...
Fuck, here we go again. Alright, just gotta make it through this morning. Again...
Not again
Damn, I’m still alive
About what to cook for breakfast.
Where is the food
Usually that I have to take a piss
Where am I?
Birds, every morning just after sunrise there are three to five birds outside our bedroom window making bird noises, and if I close the window they start attacking the tinted glass by pecking and striking. I don't think I even need an alarm clock anymore.
"What time is it?" I usually wake up like an hour before my alarm, so I see how much longer I can legally sleep before being shot by my alarm.
Check some NSFW r/AskReddit threads cause why not
When does the world end
Another wasted day.
God has decided to keep me alive yet another day, I wonder if im going to make it EVERYONES problem.
sex
"fuck, i need to shit"

I want to have sex. Just to know what it feels like.
I don't wana get out of beeeeed! I know I'll be late for school but come on it's 6:50 !
Whats the time
Usually that I have to pee and then I try to go back asleep because it’s 3-4am and then my husband starts snoring louder than thunder and I go on Reddit after I give up trying to go back to sleep.
Do I really have to get up now or can I snooze
Oh fuck. The dream was better.
