How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Hating the Quick To Fall Asleepers

in Everyday on 12/10/10

Yes, you read that right.  It is not even a real word, but it is how I feel.  I do not like you instant fall asleepers.  You know who you are, you know who I mean.  The people who put their heads down on the pillow and are instantly asleep! This may be just a teeny bit directed at my Hubby.  So, who exactly do you think you are, and how the hell do you do this???

How do you stop the whirling thoughts of the day from swirling around in your head?

Do you not have a single ache or pain that keeps you awake for even a moment?

Don’t you ever remember that you forgot to start the dishwasher and have to get up and start it?

Don’t you ever worry that you forgot to lock the back door and have to run down and check it?

Am I really the only one who forgets to put the laundry in the dryer?  Can’t leave that in there over night.  Super stinky.

Did the girls pack their stuff for cheerleading?  Is your first appointment tomorrow at 9AM or 9:30?  It makes a difference.  Are we almost out of dog food?  What are you going to make for sides at Christmas dinner this year?  Oh my gosh there are so many Christmas gifts left to buy!!  What on earth am I going to wear to the Christmas party on Saturday night.  Will it ever stop snowing?

Sigh.  Yep. I hate you instant fall asleepers. 

Pass the wine.  Maybe that will help.

Psst.  One more thing keeping me awake! I don’t think you entered my giveaway yet!  It ends at 5pm today! Winner announced tomorrow.  2 prizes. One for your pet worth $150.00  Come see!

      My husband is the same. 🙁 Drives me crazy! It takes me at least 30 minutes to fall asleep at night!

      My husband is one of those. I don’t think his head is even on the pillow yet when he is out!

      ohmygosh you guys got as much snow as we did! buried alive, i tell you, buried!

      who are the shovelers in the family? it should be the ones who have no trouble sleeping, that would be fair.

      I’m an instant fall asleeper. I’m also one of those annoying people who can fall asleep anywhere, lol!

      Two words: Sleeping pills. Oh, yeah and the wine doesn’t hurt;)

      Me too. I don’t like them for one instant. When I lay down I start to worry about all of the things I have to do the next day. And then I can’t sleep 🙁 It is the worst!

    10. Polly says

      December 10, 2010 at 8:58 pm

      So annoying isn’t it. I think its why I read so much – its the only thing that helps me to switch off – unless of course its so good I keep thinking about it…arggh

      I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I’m forever tired.

    12. Tinika says

      December 10, 2010 at 6:36 pm

      You crack me up! But I understand what your saying. I’m the same way. It always takes me forever to fall asleep.

    13. Sarah @ Picture Window says

      December 10, 2010 at 6:12 pm

      I hear ya. And on top of that, I’m incapable of sleeping in. Even if I’m exhausted I can’t sleep later than 6 or 6:30.

    14. Eliza says

      December 10, 2010 at 5:49 pm

      LOL I am one of them. I pick a vacation spot(almost always hawaii or bahamas), make my own sceneries and I drift off to sleep thinking about the beach..works like charm 🙂

      Normally I can fall asleep fast…sorry! I stay up too late so that is one reason. Last night was a different story. I had a cappucino around 6 p.m. Not a good thing…didn’t sleep well at all!
