Frustration

I know its unlikely, but do any of you get to that point when your lying in bed, and you look at the clock. Then your like "Crap, its 12 and I need to get up in 7 hours!". Then your too stressed about not being asleep for you to actually fall asleep.

Im like that. The average human is recommended to have 8 hours of sleep a night, and whenever Im getting less than that and I know I have something to do the next day, I fret about it.
Sleep can be scary enough without the extra worry of not getting enough of it. Summer makes sleep worse though, all that heat... its like a breeding ground for nightmares. My brain in summer, is like 10,000 drunk teenagers in a hotel together - surrounded by porn films on projector screens and having lube sachets shoved into their hands.
There might as well be a popular celebrity there too, like Katy Perry, encouraging sex. "Come on guys! Just do it! Everyone else is" - peer pressure is always effective.

Yup, my bad dreams are absolutely flourishing in this weather, the heat muddles my brain up and makes it all so much worse!
Just the other night, I dreamt about being in a deserted and dark house, with a strange little girl and there was stripy beige cats everywhere. Then weird things started happening like figures being in my peripheral vision and things moving by themselves, hand prints appearing on glass... all that creepy nonsense, you know. And what could I do?
Nothing.
Just sit there and take it.

But hey, theres always the upside to dreaming. Atleast you get away from the real nightmares of life for a few short hours.

  1. I know EXACTLY how you feel about sleep, do you count the hour as well? Every few seconds check the time and worry more? I swear counting doesn't work cause I freak out over what number I get up to!!
