I suck at waking up on Thursdays
Feb. 7th, 2008 09:48 pmUsually I'm the kind of person who can hear her alarm clock and wake up. However, last Thursday I was supposed to wake up at 6:45 for minyan and woke up at 1:15. Today I was supposed to get up at 6:45 for minyan and woke up at 11:35. And I set 2 alarms this time! How could I miss it?
The answer is that both last Wednesday night and last night I took painkillers before going to bed because I was in pain. Painkillers + the medicine I normally take at night = sleeping in accidentally. Therefore tonight I will set 4 alarms and not take any painkillers in order that I can wake up at 4 to be out the door by 4:40 and make the 5:01 green line which transfers to the red line and gets in to South Station at 5:37. The Amtrak train to NY is at 6:05. I'm not taking any chances. I'm also showering tonight instead of tomorrow morning, packing now, and putting out my clothes for tomorrow.
Hopefully this will be enough to get me up. If anyone is massochistic enough to be up this early and would like to give me a wake up call, let me know.
