You know you're tired when... (RL)

You know you're tired when it's too much effort to click a LJ cut.

zzzzzzzz

Last night I was exhausted at 8 PM. An online event started late, thus ended late, so we didn't finish until about 8:30. I was ready to go to bed, but I had to clean up the apartment and make a call and stuff. Done by 9 PM. More than ready to go to bed. "9 is too early! I'll wait a little longer!" 9:30, couldn't focus on the computer screen any longer, so got ready for bed. In bed by 10 PM.

10 PM: AWAKE! OH BOY I'M AWAKE! LET'S GET UP AND DO SOMETHING! BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE!

God help me, I'm going to stab my brain one day. I was bouncing with energy until about 1 AM. Drifted off to sleep. Had a dream I was in college and so lost that I couldn't find my class... but I had instructions on how to get to the class! ...but I couldn't read them! And hey, where'd my clothing go? (Such a stereotypical stress dream. Can't you be a little more creative about it, brain?)

2 AM woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. Said to myself, "Hey, at least tomorrow is Saturday so I can sleep in!" Slept for 15 minutes, startled myself awake. "Tomorrow's not Saturday! It's Wednesday! Am I late for work?! GOTTA GET UP NOW!"

I think I slept maybe an hour total last night. God. zzzzz I don't drink coffee, but I'm almost willing to start this morning.

Stupid brain.

Edit: Oh god. And images I so totally don't need this morning. Work safe. Brain not safe. Political. Gah.

I am having a similar kind of problem, too. I can't sleep for more than three consecutive hours, no matter how tired I am. And I keep on waking up at three in the morning no matter what. Curses!
