Up too late on Sunday night
Yeah, okay, so this won’t be that interesting of a post. But it’s 1:46 in the a.m. on Monday morning, i.e. Sunday night, and that’s just so damn typical. I mean, why am I awake? Why am I writing on this stupid website? Who wants to be reading this “information?”
The answer is: nobody!!!
It’s so typical for me to unnecessarily prolong the going-to-sleep process on Sunday night. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I get more sleep on the weekends and this puffs up my “sleep confidence,” i.e. I think I can stay up later and not be tired the next day. Well I’m wrong! Consistently! Basically I screw myself over every week and I’m tired on Monday and I’m continually trying to catch up the rest of the week.
Maybe that’s why I fall asleep on the train sometimes!
Well, that’s about it. I was leaving this place anyhow.
p.s. You know I don’t actually write like this, right? Am I the only one who gets the joke?

I hear ya. I don’t know what comedian said it, but he suggested that crime rates and violent conflicts would virtually disappear if everyone went to sleep when they were tired and got up when they weren’t.

Yeah, night guy always screws over morning guy. Besides your reason, I know for me there are two other reasons I stay up late on sundays.
1. I’ve often taken a football nap earlier in the day and I have a little burst of energy around normal bedtime. By the way, how glorious are football naps? Can you comment on this?
2. I don’t want the weekend to end. I think this gets down to the root of the problem for me. You see, every friday there’s a part of me that thinks I’m done with work forever and will live in a perpetual weekend state. Maybe I’m just an optimist. I also kind of always feel like the weekend will hold some chick related excitement. Anyway, come Sunday I haven’t completely come to grips that with the fact that the weekend is coming to the end, and I try to prolong the fun, even if it’s just by watching TV later than I should.

Ryan nailed it with #2. An added bonus to staying up way too late to delay the dreaded next day is that my sleep-deprived brain fog numbs me to whatever it was that I dreaded.
My dog has too much sense to stay up late with me, so he never lets me sleep in, dammit.
