You gotta just stand up. Even if you walk around with your eyes barely open, it's better than laying back down. Waking up in the middle of a shower is a heck of a lot better than waking up late for work

    Oh, "just stand up" you say? Wow, after that I could "just get everything important done" and "just make everyone happy".

    I have a better idea: I'm gonna go back to sleep.

    I don't know if it'll help you, but I envision myself as having two mes: Sleep Me and Awake Me. Sleep Me is an asshole who'll ruin my life just to stay asleep for as long as possible. He fights tooth and nail to keep Awake Me from taking control of my body. ”I'm gonna go back to sleep" is Sleep You talking. They're trying their hardest to convince Awake You that you can't possibly stand up until Sleep You has had their fill of sleep, but it's not like "just be happy" or "just pay attention–" you can control your legs!

    Can I? Often I seriously lie in bed, mentally going through the motion of getting up step by step the whole time convinced I'm doing it, only to notice seconds later I have not moved at all.

    I want to so badly, but unless there's the time pressure of having to get up or there'll be bad consequences, I just... can't

    That's Sleep You talking! FUCK Sleep You! They don't give a shit about you, or your success in life, or your mental health. They exist solely to make sure you sleep as much as possible and they're given way too much power to achieve that goal

    My one cat usually sleeps on top of me so I can't just stand up. And when he isn't sleeping on me and the alarm goes off, he'll come in running for snuggles and make me fall asleep again.

    Cats are truly our greatest enemy in life. My Athena doesn't much care for Awake Me, but as soon as I fall asleep she wants to be as close as possible. If I didn't grab my phone, I'd be back to sleep cuddling her as I type this
