Sleep is something we all need, but let’s just say that some of us need it more than others.
Some of us need an excessive amount, and even when we get that, we still crave more.
Here’s what you’ll only know if you, too, are addicted to sleep…
1. You are always tired
You’ve never sprung out of bed thanking your lucky stars that it’s a beautiful morning.
Instead, you’re more likely to wonder if your phone, watch and wall clock have all broken simultaneously, because there’s NO WAY it could be 7am already.
2. You like lie ins…
Preferably ones that last all day, are incredibly warm and snuggly, and are uninterrupted by any loud neighbours or snoring dogs.
3. …and you hate people who claim that sleeping till 9am is a lie in
NO, crazy awake person, that is in fact rising at the crack of dawn.
4. Your uni years were the best…
No one ever judged you for sleeping eleven hours a day, because they all did it too.
5. … And everything has gone downhill since then
Because your boss is one of those early risers and just doesn’t understand why you find it such a struggle to make it in for 9.30 every day like everyone else.
6. You get really mad if people wake you up
Probably because your dreams are so damn realistic, and you actually thought Orlando Bloom was your boyfriend for a few hours.
7. You have your special bedtime routines
Whether they are listening to heavy metal before sleeping, wrapping yourself in an enormous woollen blanket or sleeping butt naked, these are YOUR routines and good luck to anyone who gets between you and your blissful twelve hours.
8. Monday morning ‘how was your weekend?’ office chats are always awkward
When someone tells you they ‘had a quiet weekend, just went out for drinks on Friday and Saturday night and went to a few raves in between’, you don’t know what to say.
Your response is usually something like: ‘no, my weekend was crazy. I slept for about forty six hours in total, it was mad.’
9. You can fall asleep anywhere
On a plane, on a bus, on a stranger’s lap on the tube…
10. You can sleep through anything
Seriously, even if the whole cast of Geordie Shore was having a huge food fight in your room, your Orlando Bloom dream wouldn’t even be remotely disturbed.
11. Your idea of a wild evening is to watch Netflix in your pyjamas
Who are you kidding? You just say that to get your other half to hang out with you.
You’ll obviously fall asleep the second House of Cards starts streaming.
12. Everyone always asks you if you’re not feeling well
You’d think all this sleep would make you look AMAZING, but it’s really not the case.
You sleep so much that the opposite is true, and you just look exhausted the majority of the time.
13. Your favourite phrase is ‘I need a nap’
But hey, that’s what makes you you, right?
