Rainy Days

I’ve found myself sleeping an incredible amount of time lately, and still waking up tired. Falling asleep in class and then coming home to take a nap? There isn’t any time for anything else in the day!

It’s common for people to sleep either too little or too much while suffering from depression. But then, when is it just fatigue? When is it stress? When should you push yourself to keep going or relent and go take that nap?

Honestly, I haven’t found that line myself.

I leave home exhausted. I come home exhausted. I stay at home… exhausted.

And then there’s the age old question, “How much sleep should you get?” Magazines and websites all debate what the correct amount is. That Magic Number! Some say 8, some say 6, some say 10 or 12.

Recently, I’ve been sleeping 13 hours at a time. No waking, not even for a drink or a potty break. A total escape from reality. As far as my mind is concerned, I’m comatose. My cat could jump on me, my brother could yell at me and there could be a thunderstorm outside, and still, I’d sleep.

Alarm clocks don’t stand a chance.

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to try different sleeping patterns? Of course, messing around with my sleep could be harmful in some ways… but if I were to research it, take it slowly, and feel it out? Maybe I’ll check out blogs on sleep and health and stuff? See if they’ve found the cure for laziness?

I’ll make sure to update on this if I find anything out!
