After many weeks of trying, I’ve been able to break the 4am barrier. Yes, that’s right, even though I’ve been a night owl for nearly all my life, it took almost four weeks of unemployment for me to be able to stay up beyond 4am. I’m not sure what was going on. In the first two weeks or so, I felt exhausted as 2am rolled around, even though I didn’t do much the whole day. My sleeping habits didn’t really change with my employment status.
This weekend, I finally was able to comfortably stay up beyond 4am. It’s a silly milestone but it tells me that things are going back to normal! Sunrises have never been so pretty!
I broke the 5:00 am barrier last night. I sat down in my room of awesomeness after finishing a strong espresso, and continued working on a model kit that I bought in 1987. This was at 9:45pm. Lost track of time and voila, sunrise! Or I was abducted by aliens last night and have ‘missing’ time.
