I am the complete opposite of morning person.
Though the older I get, the more I realize being a night owl isn't the best idea either.
Waking up is one of the biggest chores of my day.
But I do it. Gotta keep breathing...
Redditor Jackiung wanted to compare notes on what is really on our minds when the sun rises. They asked:
"What do you think about when you wake up?"
I often cry when I wake up. Because I love sleep so much. I need to work on it.

Sleepy No Way GIFGiphy"F**k I’m awake."
"F**k is the first word my bf says when his alarm goes off 3 hours before mine. Every morning. Once he's awake he's a happy dude, no one likes waking up."

I have no control...
"The me in that state of consciousness is not the normal me. It's someone else. And no matter how much I desperately need to get up to be on time, that me will sleep another 15 minutes at least. I have no control. I've had to start setting multiple earlier alarms to give that me their ransom to let normal me get up."

"I provide a service for specific surgical cases. One morning I get a phone call waking me up, that they were rolling a patient into the operating room and where was I. Some dingus forgot to put that I would be needed on the schedule. Never gotten dressed and left so fast."

"Nothing makes me mad as quickly as realizing I did not die in my sleep."

WTF?
"Why the hell did you think it was a good idea to stay awake until 4 am playing that stupid game? Now you have 12 long hours of work ahead, barely slept 3 hours and you're not even that good at that game. You're 38 g**dammit! What is wrong with you?"

The Usual.
"Let me walk u through it. First I open my eyes and sit there for like 20 or 30 minutes with a dazed look on my face before actually sit up to use the bathroom. After about 30 mins of being awake I think about why God couldn't kill me in my sleep. And why I will make my existence everyone's problem after about an hour I start looking for food."

WHY?!
Cute GIF by DisneyGiphy"I just slept for 8 hours. How is it possible that I'm more tired than before I went to sleep?"

Waking up is hard work. Especially if you have a very comfortable bed. But everyday is a new chance. So there is that.
