Does anyone else...

[Thumper]

Absolutely hate waking up in the morning?

I mean hate it as in " Oh Christ not another one!"?

This isn't something that is new either, I have felt this way since my first cognizant memory. I am wondering if there is a biological component to being happy, that maybe I am missing the "happy" gene or something. It is a feeling that is totally foreign to me, at least in the general sense. I can "enjoy" things for the brief moments they occur but an overall sense of happiness or well being eludes me. I hate my job. The things I like to do I am lousy at and the things I can do well I can't stand to do.

George Anderson, a medium, (Yes Dixon, I know, a charlatan) has stated that we exist on different planes at different times and we have the option of coming back to this plane if we need to learn something... If this is the case then I think I must have been on some wicked new drug to make we want to come here(or someone pushed me). Cause I don't like it here. Honestly I think maybe this is what it feels like to be sentenced for a crime you didn't commit.

Lest anyone think I am "feeling sorry" for myself this is not the case...my life is rather good by all standards...I have a steady job, a wife that has forgiven me more transgressions than you can find on a soap opera or capitol hill, three teen-agers that still think it is OK to be seen with me, and I am healthier and in better shape than most men my age. Out of a world of 6 billion, I figure I am better off than 5 billion 950 million others on this rock. That is why this truly baffles me...I dread waking up in the morning..I hate it...and my parents...they did this..just because "they wanted to be parents"!

No one asked me!

Damnit...

I'm done...go play.

I am not a morning person. Never have been, have to because of my job, but I hate it.

I can remember being up all night when I was little. I remember my parents trying to make me go to sleep. I never would. I used to stay awake and talk to whoever would listen to me.

Now, my hours vary from late at night, being midnight or later as the time I start work, to going in early around 4-5 am. I still hate it.

I used to have a sign that said, "I don't do mornings"

I can't wake up to alarm clocks. I just hate mornings.

 

[April]

Have felt that way. A lot. Wanna commiserate?

 

[Isabella Thorne]

I think about this kind of stuff a lot, actually.

Life is a test, a series of learning experiences. Once you pass the current one, sometimes you get a break, and sometines you get shoved right into the next test. If you don't pass, you get sent back for another go round. And you keep getting the same shit until you get it right. That accounts for the sameness in life.

Now, if you pass, you get a different test the next time. However, after passing a series, sometimes you can screw up and get sent back quite a ways and have to do a lot of shit over!! *raising a hand* Yes, that would be me. Might as well have erased the last ten years of my life. Humph!

Thumper,sweetie. The days are getting shorter again. Your annual "slump" is right around the corner, I know that. Is there anything I can do to help?

 

[morninggirl5]

Despite the name, I hate waking up in the morning. I love mornings that I'm seeing without having been to sleep though.

 

[Aphrodisiac]

Depends ...

I love my sleep more then any thing else out there, when people ask what my "hobbies" are sleep is # 1 on my list.

While I love sleep I do tend to hate waking up but it all depends on my moods. I think I am wide awake and eager to go about my day during the spring and summer months but come fall & winter I am under the covers and hating the mornings.

But then again .. whenever my amor calls me and I hear his voice saying " Buenos Dias ". Regardless of the months he simply makes my mornings wonderful.

I HATE mornings. Unless I have to, I just DON'T get up until 12.

 

[Dillinger]

I hate mornings. All my life. I've never been a morning person. Used to read under the covers with a flashlight late at night when I was a kid. Played in rock bands in college at bars till 4 in the morning... made sure I took LATE classes.

Now -- I work. And work, and work... *lol* And even now I schedule meetings as late as possible... but still have to wake up much earlier then I would like. Do my best to make up for it by sleeping late on weekends.

I HATE mornings.

 

[freakygirl]

am i an odd one?

I'm a morning person.. up at 5 am... everyday.. in bed by midnight.. i don't require alot of sleep.. never have.. my kids are the same way. too much sleep and we all get really cranky..

 

[Silverlily]

Nocturnal all the way. When I am up early, it's because I haven't been to sleep yet.

*quick side confession - I did willingly get up really, really early once. But it was for a, um, really important phone call. That was worth it.*

I think part of the reason I'm in retail is I don't have to get up quite as early as other jobs I've held.

 

[nasty]

GOD, I HAVE to be to work at 9 AM. SHIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!

 

[Barb Dwyer]

no freakygurl. You aren't weird. I am a morning person too. But we are in the minority it would seem.

It has been ingrained in me since childhood when I used to have to get up at 6 AM and practice the piano for 2 hours every morning before school. So, now it's a habit. Even on weekends.

When I was in college I was surprised to learn others weren't this way. In fact, my roommates would sleep till noon sometimes. I would sit there staring at them waiting for them to wake up! LOL Or I would have to tiptoe around making sure not to awaken them!

I used to be able to stay up all night and still function, but as I get older, I cannot do that any more. Well, not without showing definite signs of dragging my butt around all day. These days I get up at 5 and exercise for an hour before work. and nasty? Are you trying to imply that 9AM is too early to start work? I start between 7 and 7:30!

Heck, half my day is over by nine AM!

 

[nasty]

THank GOODNESS I'm not you. I'm usually just getting to bed when your getting up.

 

[Thumper]

Nasty

but do you dread it?

Like I do?

Thanks all...and Cheyenne, I will be OK, too many depend on it. Just letting a little of the real Thumper out to run...
