WAKING UP IS HARD TO DO!

What is it about Monday morning that makes one feel so distressed and cheated of sleep, even after desperately trying to squeeze in nine hours of sleep?
     Even the early risers among us have bitterly complained about those defeated moments following the blasted alarm clock's treacherous kidnap from the comfortable bosom of sleep.
     While one contemplates the monumentous task of peeling off the warm duvet from their temperature sensitive thighs and rolling out of bed to start the day, miraculously another half an hour has waddled by and one suddenly finds themselves running late – again!
     This is when all sorts of mistakes are made and bruises are introduced to various parts of the body as one rushes around trying to get ready while simultaneously guzzling down gallons of magic “stay-awake juice” (that is responsible for why one is having such a hard time waking up in the first place).
     Some have even been caught trying to skip sleep altogether so as to avoid the inevitable (and often lost) battle with the Morning, but have come to find out the hard way that the body is programmed to function a certain way for a good reason.
     The irony always arrives at the weekend when after five days of resentment and strife, one is rudely awoken from dreams of wealth by none other than a programmed mind instead of the solemnly detested alarm clock.
     No wonder one spends their day twitching with stress – just look at how it starts!
