The moment you know you've had a fucked up sleeping pattern for the last 10 years

[dealan311]

Snippets of a Skype conversation:

Me: "Hey, sorry about not getting your message last night. My computer was on and everything but I just closed my eyes and the next thing I knew it was 6am."
Mom: "You've been up since 6?
Me: "Yeah. I keep falling asleep at 10pm and waking up at 6am for five days straight now. I don't know what's wrong with me."
Maycee: "It's called a regular sleeping pattern, inday.

Heh. I work the 10PM-6AM-ish shift, half of my friends are co-workers and have the same hours, but my family, my girlfriend, and the other half of my friends have conventional 9-5 habits. It's not unusual for me to slip into "normal mode" on weekends so I can interact with the latter group. 4-5 hours of sleep is also quite normal for me, though sometimes I'll crash for an hour or two in the afternoon. I don't think "fucked up" even begins to describe my sleeping patterns.

Hahah, yeah. This is basically the story of my life for the last 10 years. A little more even because high school wasn't all that great either.

Not gonna lie -- I was totally flummoxed when I got back and you weren't around. I was like, "But she's always up!"

Regular sleeping patterns are supposed to be healthy for you though;)

eta: Heading up to Skype in a few. House madness.

Weirdly enough, my Skype was on all night. I just wasn't elsewhere.

OMG. I so relate to that. How did you get your sleeping pattern to be not messed up?

Up at 6. I should so try that but wow, it's HARD.

Hehe, I hear you.
I started doing a new exercise program on Tuesday with one of the girls from my office and I've been going to bed earlier and waking up before my first alarm goes off all week.

*hugs*
