magic on sunday: anatomy of a restless night
put on sleeping mask. adjust air conditioner to the optimal setting - 70 degrees if you’re wondering. ask alexa to help you sleep. say no seven times to the suggestions of ambient sounds until she lands on rain sounds. reply yes, robotically.
take a deep breath, visualize the rain, and tell yourself that this will be the first time in a week where you actually get more than 4 hours of sleep.
listen to the rain.
lay there for 15 minutes. maybe it’s 45 minutes. you’re not sure.
resign yourself to the fact that tonight will be another sleepless night.
remove sleeping mask, roll over, unplug phone, peruse the internet (the internet being: facebook, twitter, instagram). make a mental list of things you should be thinking about.
is it too late to vacuum?
i should finally start watching game of thrones
*scroll instagram*
how likely am i to get murdered if i go on a run right now?
where are all these weird noises coming from?
*scroll instagram*
i don’t have anything to pack for lunch tomorrow
why do i have so many apps on my phone?
app is kind of a weird word if you think about it
*scroll instagram*
now would be a really good time to read all these articles i’ve saved
why is it “counting sheep?”
*scroll instagram*
maybe i should do a face mask?
this will go on for who knows how long until you jolt awake, phone in hand. you plug your phone back in, check the time, and do some sleepy math to calculate exactly how much time you have left before your alarm goes off.
“alexa, help me sleep.”
