Struggling To Stay Awake In The Morning
I have fallen asleep while pondering my thoughts about what I should be writing today. It was just **3 pm** earlier when I started trying to compose those sentences in my mind before jotting them down in my Notepad. When I woke up, it's already **6 pm**. I can't believe that I have slept that much. That's almost **3 hours**, I guess. It just means that my body was that tired enough that it can't keep up with my thoughts anymore. ***Just after a while***, Madam already called on the landline that they were driving down the skyway on the way home. As much as I badly wanted to start writing, I set it aside first, besides my mind was still foggy as I have just woken up from that long nap. I just prepare what will she need when she arrives and wait for her a little bit. I did a little exercise while waiting to shake that fog inside my head which still made me sleepy. I guess my body misses long sleep hours that much now. My work began again when she arrived as I am her caregiver. Normally, caregivers are for some elderly people who are weak and can't help themselves that much, or for bedridden people. As for my Madam here, she just wanted a Caregiver to keep her company and to assist her needs at home because she wants to get things done faster. She left home every day to the office often before noon, so I just have a little task to do in the afternoon. I just spend it helping my Aunt in the kitchen here. I pity her for still working at the age of 65. She was supposed to be retired but she was still currently supporting her niece and nephew which were still studying as Elementary students. They were left behind by her late younger brother and their irresponsible mother who is now married to someone else, forgetting that she has still 2 kids in her late husband. ***Anyway***, as you have known, I don't have much work in the daytime but I still feel lethargic. I'm sure that is because I often sleep late. Though, I am sleeping much earlier than before now, which I have set to 10:30 pm and up to 11 pm only. I'm still not used to it. My usual sleeping schedule now broke my previous sleeping habits that which also changed my body clock. Now I often woke up instantly at **4 am**. It's becoming regular now to be exact. The worst effect of this is even though I drink a strong coffee, I will still be drowsy from 8 am to 10 pm. It is like my body is forcing me to sleep again between those times in the morning. However, I can't ever do that because that is also the time that I have duties to do. ***Isn't it 7-8 hours of sleep is the standard for keeping up good health?*** Well, my body can only hold 5-6 hours of restful sleep in the evening. I instantly woke up after I attain that amount of sleeping hours. I don't know why but I can't sleep again afterward, but then drowsiness will strike me from 8 am to 10 pm. ***I think it is not just my mind who is crazy now. My body, too.*** It's indeed hard to keep up with morning activities if you're not a morning person. And yes, I'm more active at night. ***I'm just like a bat or an owl, aren't I?*** A nocturnal kind of creature. That's what I have observed from myself since I was a kid. My mind is active at night and that's the reason why I also write and published my articles at night. I often just forced myself to stop whatever I'm doing at night and lay down because if I don't, I would prefer not to sleep. Sometimes my Aunt will shout at me now if I'm still not in bed at 11 pm. I'm not complaining about it anymore. I think there really is someone who should remind me to sleep early every day. Hello there!!! How was your day, beautiful readers? I hope that you did great today. Thank you for your hard work. *Anyway, is there anyone who is a night owl like me here?* **High five, if you're like me**. We are one of a kind. A unique species of owls who only spread and flap their wings at night. But I do hope that you don't have a crazy mind like me. By the way, thanks for reading up to this point of today's blog. I'm also always thankful for all the support that you are giving me. And to all my sponsors who often renew their sponsorship, you guys are amazing! Until next time, then.

I guess you must be more of a night person but regardless of that, you should endeavour to rest during the day since your nights are for work. Big well done to you! Working at night and also trying to do some side hustle to make more.
I am indeed but it's affecting my day job so I'm trying to change my schedule. My body wouldn't agree with me, though. 😂
Work and life balance is very paramount. It is one of the first thing I do consider when getting a job. If my job doesn't give me the comfort that my life needs then I won't go for it. Work it out dear! You can!
Yeah, right. Thanks for motivating me. I'll keep that in mind.
Apiiir! Night time din ako gising na gising pero gusto ko yun mabago hehe iba kasi talaga pag umaga tas madami kang gagawin.
Yun lang, mahirap bagohin. Hinahanap hanap pa rin ng katawan ko yung mulat na mulat sa gabi. Hahaha.
Katulad ngayon dapat matulog na ako kaso nagugutom ako nagsaing pa ako hahaha 12 na naman ako sleep hahaha
Ahahaha. Ako nga umiinom pa ng green tea at kumakain ng tinapay ngayon eh. Dapat tulog na ako ganitong oras. Ginutom eh.
Sabi nila as you grow older lumiliit daw yung sleeping time. Hahaha. Ewan ko lang kung totoo.
True, kasi nga madami na tayong responsibilities. 😂 Nagiging 24/7 na takbo ng utak natin. Hahaha.
Most of my friends are just like you po, but ako mas buhay talaga ako pag araw and pag gabi naman bagsak nako sa higaan. Kahit sa paggawa ng assignments and pagrereview before, I prefer doing it in morning than sa night or madaling araw kasi pag nakita kong madilim sa labas matik inaantok ako 😅
Hahaha. Sanaowl naman po. Ako kasi baliktad eh. Kapag nakikita ko na yung araw parang ayoko pang bumangon pero kapag madilim pa mulat na mulat.
same...night owl too pero pinipilit ko talagang matulog kahit mga 2am kasi nga may work pa
Oo, nga naman. 5am kasi start ko dito eh kaya kailangan kong matulog ng mas maaga sa 12.
Ako gnyan na gnyan , though ginagawa ko naman mnsan, pag alam kong super pagod tlga di ko na pinipinlit mgpuyat. 😅 The next day naman, oarang alternate nlng para di mabigat sa pakiramdam.
Hahaha. Ako kasi kahit anong pagod ko, di pa rin ako makatulog nga maaga. Pinakamaaga ko na yung 12am.
Yung frend ko nakakatulog siya agad ng 8pm tas gigisng siya ng mga 3am hangang sa gabi na yan.. ako nman ay sa gabi hindi nakakatulog agad.. hirapan matulog kya sa umaga parang antok na antok pa hehe
Ay same. Hahaha. Mas trip ng mata ko na gising palagi sa gabi eh. Ang hirap matulog ng maaga.
Ganyan din ako ma'am pag nagising ako ng 4am mga 8am or 10am antok na antok ako dahil siguro kulang sa tulog dahil around 11pm and 12am na ako natutulog HAHAHA
Ganun na nga. HAHAHA. Ang sarap kasi magpuyat, eh.
Sobra ma'am HAHAHAHAHA nocturnal ata tayo eh 😂😂
Apir sis!!! 5 to 6 hours ay sobra na sa sapat sa akin yun sis.. Kasi ako ay 3 hrs ang average na tulog kapag weekdays..hehe...tutulog ng 3 or past 3 tapos gigising bago mag 6 kasi start ng work ko
Mas marami na nga to sis ngayon. Dati 2 to 3 hours lang din tulog ko kasi working student ako. Mukhang nasanay yata ako sa ganun kaya di na ako makatulog ng matagal ngayon.
Ou sis.. Pag nasanay na ang body clock, hirap na mag adjust
I can't call myself an owl or a nocturnal animal but still I feel that I can work at night more effectively than day. Now I'm trying to wake up early at about 4-5 am to study. Just try to take care of yourself. You matters the most.
Hmmm, some people said to me that studying at dawn is effective because it's fresh on your mind when you come to school. I never studied effectively, so I really don't know. Haha. Anyways, thanks for dropping by and have a good day.
I also heard about this fact , that's why I'm trying to do so. Actually this fact is right, I also read a article when I can to know that our brain works the best in the morning coz that we do not have too tension or thoughts.
Is that so? Maybe, my brain is really crazy. It works more effectively when nightfall came.
This fact is absolutely right, but we all are different that's why we all have different capacity. I always read at night coz I fe comfortable that time but my sister always starts reading at about 4.30
Haha, no doubt you are like an owl lol. I am a morning person and my thoughts are active in the morning time. You can only set your routine by sleeping early at night time, then you wake up earl in the morning. You are active in the nighttime because that's become your habit and your mind has accepted that night is made for you. But the fact is it's damaging your min slowly because nature made night for sleep and rest. Have a good day buddy. Nice to meet you.
Oh. Thanks for visiting my article. Hahaha. That may be is the case. I have been like that since I was in highschool. Yeah, it really just became a habit.
My pleasure. God bless mate.
A night owl here. Only on weekends though, I can go as far as 3 a.m. But I have no vhouce but to sleep before 12 am on worl days because I don't want to suffer the next day at work. I also want to rid of lethargy in the morning. It affects my work.
