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.
Waiting for my back to slowly compress back into place so I can move again lol. Am old.
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.
Boot up
I did this in the past. And that was to wake up after stirring awake from my slumber.
I need some time to review the life choices that led me to this.
3/10, do not recommend
Review complete, the next 19 minutes will be spent processing existential dread.
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 :)
For me it’s that when I drink 3L of water over the course of 16h, the dehydration after 8 hours of not drinking is such a stark difference that it’s uncomfortable.
In my case it just takes a while to get the gears running, but it’s usually 5 minutes at most
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.
Preparing mentally to sit and stare for 8 hours.
Im tired, thats me tryin to get enough strenght to get up
Fighting that urge to lay back down
This is not a universal phenomenon. This is the result of stress affecting sleep by causing sleep latency problems or the quality of the sleep itself leaving the individual non-refreshed upon waking and needing a refractory period to recover from sleeping before getting out of bed. The reason it’s coming up a lot more often is that greater numbers of people are experiencing the health consequences of chronic stress.
Biological clock says: You are not ready yet. Still muscles and cells are tired, they believe they had not enough rest.
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. :)
