I'm not sure what I am, I think maybe a bit of both. When I have been messaged by a friend as I am stepping into bed about a piece of work I had no idea about, I panic. A lot. A lot a lot. Often, there are tantrums.
You see, I have a bit of a problem with becoming un-motivated. To understand this, you must understand that I am a bit of TVaholic, which means I never miss my favorite shows and I always know when every show is on. A TVaholic. (Which, incase you hand't realsied, I invented). So when I come un-motivated it is normally when I watch TV (which turns out to be a large amount of the time)! The way I picture it, it is like a large motivation switch in your brain that is on when you wake up. However, the minute you press the on button on the TV remote, that switch clicks off. I found that it doesn't just have to be TV, things like playing games on devices and even texting or something like that can be enough to flick that switch. I'm going off on a bit of a tangent here, aren't I? - something I tend to do! Anyway, my point is, in the evening after I've watched an hour or two (or three or four) of TV, I very rarely feel like going upstairs, picking up a pen, and getting stuck into an essay. So, when I do get that message from my friend reminding me (which has happened more than once!), I am probably more likely to have my tantrum and then go to bed, setting my alarm for about 4:30am. And, anyway, I did hear once that if you use any sort of electronic device an hour or less before you sleep, it can make you sleep worse! A fun little factoid there!
However, a lot of it does depend on what mood your in. You know there are some mornings when you jump out of bed and you feel great and nothing can bring you down from cloud 9? But then there are also those mornings that the alarm goes, and you practically start sobbing at the relentless beeping. I must say, I flinch every time one of the timers goes off on The Great British Bake Off, because it sounds exactly like my alarm. Of course, what I said in the previous paragraph about night-working can have little bearing in some cases. For example, I am currently writing this blog entry at 9:42pm. Now I know this may not seem particularly late, but please trust me with the next thing I say, because I am speaking with full honesty.
I like sleep.
I really do. Because if you think about it, from the second that beeping starts and you wake up to the second you lie your head on the pillow, somewhere, deep (or not so deep) there is a part of your sub-concise that just wants to be back in bed.
So, anyway back to topic (what is it with me and these tangents?). In conclusion, I believe that I am probably more of an morning person than an evening person, however, sometimes the evening can be good too.
So if you enjoyed this little piece on me and my thoughts about sleep and work and whatnot, please keep reading my blog for more like it. Thanks!
