This is What I Got From Sleeping Early

I am a morning person. Well, I used to. I used to sleep at 9 or 10 in the evening, then wake up as early as 5 am. That was my routine before the pandemic happened.

Thanks for sticking around, sponsors! ❤️

These past few months, I've been sleeping late until it became a habit, even on the weekdays. There were times when I was still awake until 3 in the morning, and I had to wake up at 5 am for work. I do that thrice a week! I regret it in the afternoon, but I'd still do it again because I have many things to do!

Last night was somewhat different. I've been telling myself I'd sleep early this month, for my body's sake!! And well, of course, for my overall well-being. I planned to sleep at 9 or 10 pm last night, but my partner and I were still talking. We're already in a long-distance relationship, and having the time to speak with her is one of the things I value.

Due to an internet connection problem, we ended the call at 10 pm. I was wondering if I should do my other job or sleep early. I chose the latter. At around 11 pm, I fell asleep while listening to my playlist on Spotify.

I woke up in the middle of the night, perhaps around 2 in the morning. Have you ever felt like you've suddenly been summoned by something? Hahaha, because that was the feeling! It felt like someone was calling me. That's why I suddenly woke up. Has any of you been thinking of me? Lol. Kidding! Or maybe I just forgot to do something important? Oops!!!

I didn't bother to go to the restroom, or else I'd stay awake. I didn't check my phone as well because, for sure, I'd be tempted to do the endless scrolling on my other socials. I opted to go back to sleep.

I've heard Ariana Grande's voice singing Heaven sent you to me. I'm just hoping I don't repeat history. That's my alarm! It's already 5 am!

What's the default thing to do when it alarms? Of course, hit the snooze button! I went back to sleep.

Then, I heard my bedroom door open! My younger sister went in to ask for my permission because she wanted to borrow my old shirt.

Fuuuuuudge! It's already 6:33 am! I'm already late!! I was supposed to log in at precisely 6:30 am. I'm doomed.

I hurried to my PC and turned it on. Good thing I'm working from home today!

I tried to fix my body clock by sleeping early, but this happened. I guess it's not yet the right time to sleep early, eh?

So, tonight, I'd be a night owl once again.

Thanks for dropping by! ❤️
