Confused & Panicked

This is how confused I was. 

Have you ever taken a “cat nap” that turned into an extremely intense, what seems like 3 nights of sleep, but is really only an hour long nap, nap?

 That’s what I felt like yesterday. I got home from work around 5:45 and walked straight into my room and curled up on my bed for a nap. I didn’t set an alarm (which is unlike me) because I decided I’d wake up to the next phone call I would get.  For some reason at 7:04 PM I go FLYING out of my bed in a giant sweating-panic! I run into the bathroom and realize I have very little time to get ready for work. I was debating on whether or not I could get away without showering. I figured I didn’t have any meetings, so I was good to go. Then I realize I’m in the same clothes I wore the day before…hmm.. that’s weird. Also, I couldn’t really remember what day it was supposed to be. Also weird and frustrating. So I go running out into my apartment living room in hopes of finding a roommate or something. Nothing. No one else is home- that’s strange, I didn’t think Mary was going to leave town until this weekend…

After a lot of looking around (for what, I’m not sure) I came to the realization that I had only been alseep for merely 1 hour. NOT a good feeling; very frustrating. Then I couldn’t help but break into laughter… and of course there was no one else there to laugh with me, which just made it even more awkward.

Needless to say, my confusing, frustrating, and panic-driven nap was a good one. I obviously needed it and even went to bed early after cleaning my entire apartment like a mad man. It was a great day.

    Oh yes that HAS happened to me. Its weird because you wake up feeling better than you normally feel after waking up from 7 hours of sleep.

    hahaha i love when you sit straight up in bed in the middle of night and your heart is pounding and you start looking around like you have something to do right away.. and then seconds later you realize that you probably look like a crackhead so you laugh (with no one) and lay back down. THAT’S a cool feeling..
