I like to sleep. I mean, I LOVE to sleep. I have a hard time waking up anytime before eight on a regular day... Now you may be thinking, well hey, so do I! You also may be thinking that sleeping until eight or nine shouldn't make you a bad person. But let me tell you. I am considered lazy, ungrateful and a "not-so-hard-worker" because of the small fact that I like to get a little bit more beauty sleep then the rest of my family.
As the farm that I live on starts work at 6:30 (am) (Yeah I have NOOOO idea how they do it all year round) The fact that I like to sleep and rest my body, has always been frowned upon. I mean, it's not that I CAN'T get up early, I wake up at 5:45 ever day at my sisters camp that I work at. But it's hard work, and my smile does NOT look good in the morning if I wake up before the sun. (It's been told to me by MANY people) My face looked pained and my lips seem too small for my head. It's whack.
Life cut me a good deal this spring and gave me a break- mono. (and no I didn't get it from sucking face with any boy... I don't think.) Yeah it was lame at first and I was always feeling sick and couldn't sleep even when I wanted to. But suddenly there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Because even the doctor (and my mom if you can believe it) prescribed me one thing- sleep. Suddenly I could be as lazy as I wanted and just blame it on the mono... I was sleeping 12 to 14 hours a day and it felt wonderful! My roomate and I were maybe the laziest people on the whole campus that spring, and she didn't even have mono. I wish I could keep blaming the fact that I like to sleep on the fact that I had mono all the time, but the sad thing is the symptoms are waring off. Except for the fact that I am always tired... But I don't know if that is a lasting symptom or just how I have been my whole life, I can't exactly remember.
Away, if you think that this judgment on the fact that I like to sleep is harsh and a little mean, please, I beg you... Talk to my family, or at least hold judgment on others who may seem lazy- because the fact of the matter is, that maybe their smile is just not that good in the morning time. Give them a break they might have mono.
I'm with you Hannah. Some people just need more sleep. And maybe you're more efficient in your awake hours than others who get up early.
