It started on May 15th. We had to go on a beach trip, and so we didn’t sleep at all that day to be able to arrive in Sual at 8 AM, again, Who’d drive 9 hours to go to a beach? We would apparently.
I was dizzy during that trip, exhausted. We took a nap the entire morning, but having to share the room with other people doesn’t really give you the comfort that one would need to get a good night’s sleep. We woke up at around 3, and still had time to enjoy the beach and chat with my family.
By nighttime, I was still exhausted. I woke up at around 12 AM. It was hot. I was about to lose it when I found out the AC was not working. I opened the door in hopes of getting some cold out of the AC outside, but it turns out there was actually no electricity at all. That is not a conducive sleeping situation in the peak of summer at a transient house by the beach.
We stayed awake until 2 AM when we had to go home. That’s day 2 of not having enough sleep.
I tried sleeping in the car while my dad drove. I slept some, but it wasn’t enough.
We arrived home, and we had to go straight to my friend’s birthday party. Afterwards, I leaft my husband at home so he could sleep, I went to a coffee shop with my friends.
Around 9, we went home, I dropped dead on the bed, not even talking about my day, I was so exhausted.
Then the entire week just felt like a fever dream. I would always be woken up by a call, which led me to put my phone on silent whenever I sleep. Not only that, I would turn my Wi-Fi off because, for some reason, Facebook would still be vibrating whenever I have calls, even when I put it on complete silence.
If it’s not a call, I just randomly wake up because the light hits my eye, or I hear something. It didn’t have to be loud, it just had to be something.
I’ve been sleeping around 4 AM, and consistently waking up at 7 AM. My head hurts at this point, even as I write this. It’s Sunday. I only want to sleep for 12 hours and feel like I could conquer the world again.
It’s now 10:25 AM. I am going to have an early siesta. I have nothing else to do today but rest, and I will do just that.
If I don’t get it today, I just know my entire week is ruined already.
