Too Tired to Go to Bed

Do you know the feeling? When you’re so cozy and warm and settled, but you’re just too tired to go to bed. I don’t mean too tired to sleep, but too tired to force yourself to get out of the chair, or off the couch, wherever, and haul your sleepy self off to bed.

Maybe you’re mindlessly watching TV, or surfing the net, or just playing FreeCell or solitaire, spider or regular. Maybe you’re even playing Easter Egg Swap, hey it is Easter Monday after all. The thing is, you know you’re tired, ready to end one day and prepare your body for another, but you’re just not quite ready to have this one finish. One more minute, then another, and another. You tell yourself, “No I mean it his time, just one more minute, and then I’ll really go to bed.”

But another minute passes, and you know there’s absolutely no way you can rouse yourself enough now. So you close your eyes where you are. “Yay, I don’t have to move, uninterrupted coziness.” Sure it’s not as comfortable as bed but who cares; at least you didn’t have to move to get there. That counts for something. And besides, since you’re already half asleep, any discomfort doesn’t even really register. And so you sleep, or doze, or maybe just close your eyes and relax, unwind; let your mind go completely blank.
His good friend, celeb Elizabeth Taylor defended him on Larry King Live, saying that she had been there when they buy cipla cialis were in the bed, watching television and reiterated that there was no effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in younger adults (men under 40) is psychological.

Then comes that point minutes or maybe even hours later, and you’ve rested enough, or gotten uncomfortable enough, or some bleary-eyed in between, and you finally have the energy or motivation to go where you should have already been. And once there? Lying really comfortably at last, able to stretch out and settle in for a long night’s sleep, and that’s what you do. But before you drift off, you wonder just what took you so long to get there? Why you didn’t just go to bed, even when you didn’t relish having to move to get there. Such a short sacrifice for such longer comfort.

But you know, know from experience, know instinctively too, that next time, and there will be a next time, when you really should move sooner, you know. You won’t. Because sometimes no matter what the payoff down the road, even if it’s just a minute’s journey, sometimes the perceived agony of having to tear yourself from that cozy spot, well, that sacrifice is just too great. Long term pain for short term gain. Stiff neck tomorrow for not having to move when so tired. Seems worth it…until you wake up that is. Such is sleep, such is life. Pleasant dreams…once you get there.
