I got up at 4 AM because I had to blow my nose a bunch. I felt like I had energy while going to the basement to get a new box of tissues. Then, I felt like I should get back to sleep.
I did for a few hours, then woke up too late to make my doctor appointment and cancelled, then laid back down and could not get the activation energy to get out of bed until noon.
That whole time, I refrained from looking at my phone or playing video games because I felt I should try to actually sleep. I never did — I just ended up in a state of half-asleep dread.
I don’t know why I have a psychological nightmare every time I get sick. I don’t recommend it!
