I’m so tired today, and I don’t know why.
I was the same last night, and ended up falling asleep in my chair around 7:30, without even eating any supper. I thought it was just going to be a nap, you know, wake up at 10, or so, & have the energy to get up, do some cleaning, talk to my nephew, maybe even do some crafting or play Fallout4 for a while…
Nope.
I woke at about 10, alright, but it was only to text the nephew for a couple minutes, both of us expressing deep exhaustion, & a desire to crawl into bed.
Did I?
Not right away. I fought it, fought it hard, for a couple of hours, I really tried to wake myself back up. After all, I’d just had a 2&1/2 hour nap, right?
So I finally gave up, snuggled back into my chair with my blanket & a requisite ankle cat (she who rests at my feet), & dropped back off to sleep.
And scored another 7 hours of unconsciousness.
So why am I already contemplating a nap, today?
This is ridiculous.
JENNIFER.
GET. UP.
I remember having a similar thing happen to me when I have been going through extreme stress. It’s almost as if my body and brain have had enough and just decide to check out. Could it be stress making you feel exhausted?
Yeah, I think you’re right. The lights are on, but nobody’s home.
