Murphy's Law as it applies to waking up
Apr. 24th, 2019 01:18 pmA scene repeated way too many times:
At oh dark thirty or so - today it was 0400 - I wake up for some dumb reason like insufficient blankies or needing to pee now now now. So I take care of that, but can't get back to sleep until my alarm goes off at 0600. I conk out for the couple of hours I just missed because I can't face life much less wrangle bits dependably on five hours of sleep or less.
Luckily, my employer is tolerant of such behavior, but it's often inconvenient to say the least. Turning off my alarm for the day doesn't seem to make much difference. And taking melatonin too late in the morning leaves me zombic* for the rest of the day. Even 0300 is pushing my luck with that.
Dreamwidth brain trust, do you have a solution?
