Turn the Key to Start the Zzzzzzz

It's 2:46am...do you know where your REM is?

Well, it's 2:27am and I'm still awake. I would falls right asleep, like a baby, if I'd just move my chair to the side of the bed and close my eyes. But yet I keep holding myself back. I'm an idiot.

I have a $1200 bed and a $1300 mattress, the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on, or found. Yet for the last five months I haven't even slept in it. If I let myself fall asleep on the bed, with my sleep (or lack of sleep) habits, I would fall into such a deep sleep that I would not wake up in the morning, even with 4 alarm clocks going off. I simply cannot sleep in the bed, or I won't wake up till it's too late. That was why I had been late to work a few times in January and February.

So what do I do? I sleep in a chair. My desk chair. Very comfy, I might add. I sleep sitting up with the chair next to the bed and my 2 alarm clocks and 2 cell phones set to sound their alarms in succession at 6:30, 6:45, 7:00, and 7:15. If the first 2 don't wake me up, or I keep hitting the snooze, and fall back asleep, the later 2 are backups to do the job then.

Geez...it's 2:54am. G'night LJ land, g'night LJ friends.
