After the Yellowstone trip, I spent a couple days catching up on my sleep. I knew I was tired, but I didn't realize the extent of it... until I started falling asleep while doing my stretching exercises... did I mention I was icing my neck as well?
I tend to not sleep much while I am at home either. Believe it or not, I get up ~ 9AM even though I am not working. Just so I have a regular schedule. I get up on my own without an alarm clock. Sick, huh?
During the trip, I realized this wonderful trait was actually hereditary. One day, we were supposed to get up ~ 5AM. My mom was anxious about getting up early (despite the wake up call) so she didn't sleep well. Since there were no clocks in the room, she asked me what time it was ~ 2AM.
To top it off, my dad got confused with the whole mountain/ pacific time thing and got up ~ 4AM. I was woken up after 2 hours of sleep to blaring lights and noises of people moving about. Needless to say, I was grumpy.
Fortunately, things got better. I became the person responsible for setting wake up calls... and I learned to do exercises while waiting for my parents to get ready... which is hard for me, as I am not a patient person by nature.
BTW, I started using an alarm clock last night. I decided to not use my natural psychotic nature and rely on an inanimate object instead. The funny thing was, I ended up getting up earlier anyway to take care of errands.... but that's just my super aggressive nature.
