When the time to wake up comes, I am generally not one of those bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed types. In general, I slouch about, laying on the bed for at least an extra ten minutes, debating whether or not I truly need to get up right now, or maybe it can wait for another hour?
Unfortunately getting more, or less, sleep doesn't at all affect this habitual laziness. I could sleep twelve hours, and when I wake up I will still consider taking a small "nap" before actually getting up. It's amazingly lazy of me, but it's a fact.
It doesn't help that my girlfriend Maria gets up early most mornings. She's not a morning person, but she's also not a sleeping person. She doesn't expect me to get up with her most mornings, and I truly appreciate that, however, it gets lonely in that bed alone after a while. I think she knows that the easiest way to get me up is for her to just leave the bedroom. I will soon follow.
I'm not sure why it is that I need her in the bed to stay asleep. I say it's loneliness, and it is a little bit, but there's also just a comfort factor for me to having her on the bed next to me. Maybe it's just the way the mattress conforms is different when it's her and me versus when it's just me? Because, the thing is, if she's not there next to me when I fall asleep, it's not a problem during the night. I'm not nearly as bothered.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anyone else that, after having fallen asleep with someone next to them, has problems staying asleep if they leave? And how about my weird sleeping habits? Anyone know how to beat the morning blues, other than "coffee?"
