Thinking in My Sleep
by syaffolee
Having dreams can be really annoying sometimes.
Oh, it’s not about the content of the dreams, whether they’re stressful nightmares or boring drabbles that could be forgotten after five minutes. It’s the quality. I’m one of those people who can dream vividly. Things are in color. I can hear things. I can taste and touch and smell. I can apparently read things, too.
You might think, what are you complaining about? It sounds like I can get immersed into a whole new world when I go to sleep. How can I find that annoying? Well, I find it annoying because I also find it exhausting. When I wake up, it don’t seem like I’ve gotten any rest at all because I feel like my brain has been working double time.
I’m blaming it on the freakishly early daylight at this time of year. It makes me wake up at approximately the same time no matter when I set the alarm–sort of like a sadistic sleep lab technician, always cutting my sleep-with-no-dreaming phase a little too short.
Don't Shake the Flask 
Interesting. I don’t think sunlight bothers my sleep very much. There was a movie called “Insomnia” a while back where a detective goes to Alaska and can’t sleep because of the daylight. Maybe you need some heavy drapes, or one of those sleeping masks like they wear in the movies.
