Annoying Morning

I had the most frustrating morning today. I kept waking up in a panicked worry that it was “late” and I’d check the clock only to see it was really early, so I’d go back to sleep only to have it happen again.

The thing is, I have nothing going on today that’s time sensitive, so there’s no time that would have been late. No reason to worry about what exact time it is or anything. But all morning long it was…

Wake up, startled, worried, afraid I overslept – look at clock: 8am. Oh, ok, that’s good. Roll over, go back to sleep.

Wake up, startled, worried, afraid I overslept – look at clock: 8:30am. Oh, ok, that’s good. Roll over, go back to sleep.

Wake up, startled, worried, afraid I overslept – look at clock: 9am. Oh, ok, that’s good. Roll over, go back to sleep.

WTF brain?? What is wrong with you today? Being startled out of sleep once sucks, but over and over every half hour?? I just don’t get it.
