I'm wide awake, it's morning!


I woke up this morning upside down. With my head technically where my feet are supposed to be, and my feet resting comfortably on my pillows.

I can only reason that this is because I had my alarm set for 4.45am to meet my running partner for a run, sat up, turned the clock off, and then tipped over and fell back asleep.


What, someone please tell me, is the aversion to waking up? It's becoming a serious lifestyle problem. When I wake up unnaturally, that is, with the buzzing, whirring sounds of my alarm clock on wheels (Clocky http://www.nandahome.com/), I am not myself. There is an inner being that refuses to get up, DESPITE that fact that I have laid my running clothes out, and have gone to bed looking forward to going running in the morning. Yet - I don't get up.


Is it laziness? Lack of willpower? I cannot possibly be tired, I'm getting at least 6 hours of sleep. I may be low on iron, but that's the only remotely plausible reason I have.


It irritates me no end. I miss my run, my day is ruined. I stand my running partner up so consistently that she is now surprised when I show up. I angrily have to find another time to go running, which I inevitably do not because it's too hot or other things get in the way.


My biggest motivation for getting out of bed should be the fact that otherwise I have to spend the rest of the day trying to find room for a run.


From tomorrow, I'm getting up. Perhaps I can find an alarm clock that detonates a bomb under my bed.
