Hi Diddly do?
How do you feel when your brain wakes up? Do you jump out of bed, energy acting fast and you're so keen to get going you are in the kitchen before you realise you are not wearing a scrap of clothing?
A comedian who's been on TV was talking about drugs and said he'd given up. He asked how did people know when it was time to give up. Dov Davidoff.
The answer was, he was eating a bowl of cereal, naked, in his kitchen and some lady said to him "Get some clothes on". It was then he became aware he was on a train. That's time for sure.
Used to be I woke knowing I would have a hangover, so it was careful waking and deciding if it was worth getting up and then trying to do so was a whole new ball game.
Well, I stopped drinking on 6 January 2000. No more hangovers.
But today, waking up is pretty much the same. I become aware of the various pains, itches, aches, and fear getting up will make it worse. It never does actually. Getting up is by far the best thing to do in that state, Just for starters I get to take my meds etc. If I didn't, a hangover would not even be a concern. There are much worse things can you feel in your body and head.
But I still lie there, gradually trying limbs, stretching to see what happens and identifying each pain. And carefully get out of bed. No more of that springing out of bed, that's how I broke my left wrist. The bloody duna grabbed my right foot and down I went.
Meds take some time to kick in but at least you are alive and able to face the day instead of avoiding it in bed. It's just so rare for me to get more than 3 - 4 hours I try to stay asleep, but that never works. Used to when I was working. Just roll over and I was back into the dream or nightmare I had just left.
If you wake up feeling good, don't waste it, get up. Time will ensure awakening and getting up is no easy and automatic task. That's life, and, eventually....death.
