Yawn. Snooze.

I overheard a conversation between two girls at lunchtime today.

“Oh I love sleeping in on the weekend”, said the first one. “Really? I can’t sleep past 7.00AM no matter how hard I try” was her friend’s odd reply. I thought to myself, “I wish I had that girl’s disease”.

I can sleep in almost all day, and every morning when I have to get up for work and look over at my clock I hope to myself that somehow my wife got up in the middle of the night and set my alarm an hour back so I would wake up but then realise I could go back to sleep.
