so i was laying in bed trying to get to sleep and it wasn't working.
i counted sheep.
i relaxed my whole body one muscle at a time.
i reviewed what i had to do for the week.
i checked my eyelids for holes.
nothing.
but then i started having one of those almost-dreams you get where it's mostly just your mind wandering freely. in this almost-dream i was going swimming. but wait! i hadn't shaved my legs. well, you can't go swimming without shaving your legs!
this thought drew me from my hallucination. that was why i couldn't sleep: my legs were hairy. i couldn't get to sleep at all. but i was awake, so i figured that i might as well get up and just shave and get it over with.
problem.
i couldn't get up!
seriously, i could not move! i tried and tried, but to no avail. and then i began to panic.
finally, i realized that i really was asleep. ah, that's why i couldn't move. phew! okay, i turned on the light next to my bed and went to sit up.
but wait.
i was still asleep!
so i fought my way to consciousness, turned on the light and...was still asleep!
by now i was just afraid that i wouldn't be able to wake up at all. what if i was dead and just didn't know it? three, four times i tried to fight my way through and at last, i made it!
yay for me!
wait.
i just actually woke myself up
so i could shave my legs and get back to sleep.
crap!
well...i might as well shave now that i'm actually awake. *shrug*
so i did. and then i went back to sleep. totally worth it!
