Sleep decisions...

When you wake up in the morning, sleepy eyed and not ready to go in the least bit, but you know that there is something that you should be going to right now, like class, and at that moment you have to get up... Or not...

Your "sense" comes along to help with these dilemmas at just these times, talking to you in the deepest parts of your head, those areas that echo all around and seem to make so much more sense every time they resound again... "But you have had such a long night, and the warmth of these blankets are so nice, you couldn't possible move at such an early hour as this, and the pitter patter of the rain on the roof is drumming to you and it is telling you that it is all ok if you sleep for just a little longer, class isn't going to be that important today anyways, and you can always skip it this one time, oh and remember the warm blankets..."

And you blankets seem to get thirty pounds heavier, and hold you down. And you become aware of all the little things that are making this sleeping thing so wonderful right now. "Well if you put it that way me, of course I will sleep in..." Who can resist themselves when they tell you to sleep more?...

But after you wake up from that extra hour or so of sleep, the notion comes that you probably missed something rather important in class, that you feel groggier than you did when you first woke up, and you missed out on an hour of the day that you could have been at least a little productive in...

So there comes these times early in the morning when you talk yourself into doing something, or not doing something. It comes when you don't have good judgment at all, and can hardly think straight, and what you can think straight about is the sleep that you are going to be missing when you get up at that moment... So if this tends to happen to you in the morning, do yourself a favor and don't listen to yourself...
