October 7, 2004 at 1:21PM Texts at 4am
I’m not the best of sleepers, and I find it difficult at best to drop off, but there’s one thing that doesn’t help and that’s getting texts in the middle of the wee hours.
Not that I don’t appreciate the texts, it’s just the timing is unfortunate. Let’s give a common scenario:
I typically go to bed at around 12am or 1am. My alarm clock died on me a while back, so I’ve been using my mobile phone’s alarm at full volume instead.
My mobile phone, when it’s like this, can be quite loud. This is a good thing when I’m using it as an alarm, but quite another matter otherwise. I turn it back down every morning after the alarm goes off.
During one my so so nights, where I’m just a little restless, I might be dropping off to sleep at around 4am. This is typical. But if this is interrupted, I’ll be wide awake and won’t be able to go to sleep at all. This is no exaggeration. I’m currently suffering from it today.
So imagine me, tossing and turning in bed, trying to get rid of some of that nervous energy that’s keeping me up. I’m just dropping off, when I hear: BEEPBEEPBEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEPBEEPBEEP! BEEPBEEPBEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEPBEEPBEEP! And I’m back to where I was four hours ago.
So please, unless it’s an emergency, don’t text me between 1am and 8am, unless you know that I’m not asleep or trying to get to sleep.
Cheers.
