I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it
Biological clock says: You are not ready yet. Still muscles and cells are tired, they believe they had not enough rest.
Tell us you don’t have a full time job without telling us.
Existential dread of facing the day?
Or is that just me?
More of an “overcome by anxiety and feelings of failure” for me.
That, and as an adhd-haver, my morning stims havent kicked in yet
It’s fun when it’s both.
Definitely not just you. There’s a lot of existential dread.
Fighting that urge to lay back down
I’m trying to decide between facing another day or ending it all. Some days it takes a little more thought to justify getting up.
With a little bit of practice you can save time by doing them simultaneously! You haven’t truly lived until you’ve started at a wall for 20 minutes during despair breakfast
Boot up
I need some time to review the life choices that led me to this.
3/10, do not recommend
Review complete, the next 19 minutes will be spent processing existential dread.
It is just part of their morning ritual.
I like to sit and drink my coffee after I eat breakfast. It is just a bit of Me time.
Yes, I like that too! Some people drink coffee for the caffeine. But honestly, I never really cared about that part. I just love waking up with enough time to relax a bit with a nice cup of Joe. :)
Preparing mentally to sit and stare for 8 hours.
Not sure what memes you are referring to. Sometimes I sit or lie in bed for a bit to get my thoughts in order, process my weird dream, listen to the birds or just enjoy not having to be in a hurry. Sometimes I just want to postpone standing up because I know I will have to sit in front of the damn computer all day again. Sometimes I stand up immediately.
I just need to compose my will to get up. Then it’s coffee brewing ritual.
the meme is about how it can be hard to face the day given work/political concerns
Ahhhhh gotcha, I thought it meant something along the lines of that, thanks for your reply!
The second my body wakes up, I am in pain and want to throw up. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to stretch, adjust to the pain, and power through the nausea.
Solidarity fist bump.
I’m sorry, that sounds horrible. 🫂
I typically wake up dehydrated AF. So I wake up, drink the glass of water I set out next to me the night before, and wait to not feel like I have a whole ecosystem growing in my mouth. It’s 5-10 min for me, then it’s up, toilet, restart work laptop, make coffee, greet my Person, and finally login to work laptop for the work day. 8 second commute to my work desk is choice.
Seems like you need to drink more water during the day :)
For me it’s that when I drink 3L of water over the course of 16h, the dehydration after 8 hours of not drinking is such a stark difference that it’s uncomfortable.
My brain and body don’t immediately activate when I wake up.
Think of it like when you had to wait several minutes for Windows 98 to boot from a slow mechanical HDD platter lol!!
