I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it
Tell us you don’t have a full time job without telling us.
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 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 :)
I need some time to review the life choices that led me to this.
In my case it just takes a while to get the gears running, but it’s usually 5 minutes at most
Boot up
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
Existential dread of facing the day?
Or is that just me?
More of an “overcome by anxiety and feelings of failure” for me.
It’s fun when it’s both.
Definitely not just you. There’s a lot of existential dread.
I just need to compose my will to get up. Then it’s coffee brewing ritual.
I did this in the past. And that was to wake up after stirring awake from my slumber.
Why, what do you do?
I’m sometimes tired when I awake, if I didn’t get enough sleep the night before. Also, it’s kind of like the ADHD thing when you know you should do stuff, but you just sit there consciously doing nothing, although you don’t want to be. That also sometimes happens for a bit until I finally start doing stuff.
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. 🫂
Sometimes you just take it all in that this is your life, this is your surroundings, and this is where you’ll be for the foreseeable future, just before you get up, to work, eat, and sleep.
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. :)
