As with all of life's little gifts, sleeping in has its wonderful pros and utterbly horrible cons. If you argue with this fact just think of little things you enjoy, or hate, everyday. Q-tips are the wonderful little invention that can clean your ears, places unreachable by a dust rag and can give your eye makeup a spiffy smokey effect. But, go back to far in your ear canal and you can be deafened, not to mention that they get every where and make your bathroom look really messy.but back to the descusion of sleeping in.
In a normal day you would wake up to the buzzing of an alarm clock, curse said alarm clock to the deepest bowls or hell even if it is just doing its job and violently shut it off. You scramble out of bed to start your maorning routine. maybe you shower or you did the night before. Maybe you get dressed right away or prance around in a dollar store robe as you finish your routine, no matter what you do, you have a routine. Brush hair, brush teeth, wash face, get dressed, eat breakfast, and so on. you start your day just as you would any other day go about your business, work or school, return home and get to bed at a decent hour to do the same thing over the next day. But there are those special days off when you decide to stay up and sleep in. It sounds like all fun in games, intill you wake up the next morning. You wake up at about one in the afternoon, feeling like you were just hit by a car or very small van. Every joint pops as you go about trying to wake yourself up. Your head might be throbbing, depending on what you did last night at two in the morning, or it might not, but you can still taste last night's nachos and you mildly want to barf them back up. You have come to hate the couch that you thought was so comfy in the store because it feels as if your spine was broken, healed and then rebroken. Your hair is matted, breath could kill a small dog and you have eye gunk that would scare away the creature from the black lagoon. All in all, not a pretty sight, and your day hasn't even begun yet.
Sleeping in makes you feel the grossest you have ever felt. A shower sounds really good right about now, but it's almost two and you have a few things to do on your day off before you can actually relax on your relaxing day. You have a wonderful microwave breakfast/lunch before you start your weekend plans. Mowing the lawn and other house work, rearranging the furniture, cleaning your entire house or giving your dog a bath all come before you can enjoy a nice hot shower. Finally, a break! Your all done with what you had to do and the entire evening is free! But alas, a friend, co-worker, or even your mother calls and they need your help with their latest tragedy. You spend and hour, maybe two, on the phone consouling them, all while you are about to pass out. You hand up the phone, even more tired than before. But poor thing, its already eleven o' clock and you have to get up early in the morning. Now comes the tough decision. Do you take the shower that might just wake you up, unable to sleep the rest of the night or do you go to bed gross and nasty and wait till in the morning. It was in fact a lousy day which started with sleeping in.
But there is a little good in sleeping in. You don't have to worry about getting up early in the morning, so you can go ahead and watch that late night movie everyone is talking about. Or maybe you want to stay up all night chatting with the kid you met online from Europe that just gets you. Or like me, you are a youtube freak and have to favorite almost every video you see. None the less, you have a mini party all night. You sleep in the next day, getting way more than the recomended eight hours and hey, you might feel just fine when you wake up. And who doesn't love staying in their pj's all day?
As I said before, sleeping in has pros that make you want to dance and sing, and cons that make you feel as if the gold fish just died. So beware!!
