I've been having another round of "the drowsies" where I am a zombie in the mornings. And it goes on sometimes to noon. Always was slow to wake. Slow metabolism I guess? But this? It's ridiculous.
Suddenly occurred to me one thing that used to get me outta bed: that first cig of the day. I'd drag myself outta bed, half dead, and lumber my way like a hollyweird zombie going, "smooooooooooooooke.... smooooooooooooooooke". vaping don't seem to do that. Nor does it seem to wake me up the way cigs did.
It's worth spending as much as my grocery bill and risking lung cancer to be more productive first thing in the morning ain't it?
Hm...
Hard choice huh?
NOT.
Heh, I sleep a little too well since I got of the death sticks. Apparently, I've gone back to a thing I used to do around college days of being able to shut the alarm off in my sleep. I remember trying everything back then. Even putting the thing waaaay up on a shelf. Didn't work. I woke up with it back on the low shelf. Caught myself finally, half waking up, tugging the cord to pull the alarm off the shelf, catching it, turning it off, and putting it back on the low shelf.
And I am no where near that coordinated when I'm awake. I'm a klutz. I'm lucky I don't break a bone walking down a hallway sometimes. Stub my toes so much, I'm considering steel toe boots for "house slippers".
How the heck did I do that stunt? Wonder if I'd been good at sports in my sleep?
I dunno what all is in modern cigs but there must be other components that are addictive. I have a strong, strong nicotine addiction but I don't get nearly as powerful an urge to get up and have that "first vape". I go straight for the PV when I get up, even before the coffee, but I can be laying in bed, thinking, "wake up already, you can have coffee and vape!" and I think, "mmmm.... nice... zzzzzzzzzz"
Man, if I wasn't doing the "home office" thing, I'd be in trouble. I'd have to carpool or something. I wouldn't try to drive before noon. I'm pretty sure I'm not good at sleep driving.
(At least, I don't want to run the experiment)
This stuff is unreal. I have not gotten such a high quality of sleep since, quite literally, my college days. And I'm 51. This is amazing. Annoying I'm going through a "sluggish for hours" phase at the moment but holy smoke Batman, I would never have believed I'd sleep as well at this age as I did at half this age.
You know, the "health advocate" types should be crowing about vaping from the rooftops. Not threatening to take it away from us. Hell, let's subsidize it! Get every smoker we can grab to switch. The lives we could save are... cripes... hundreds of thousands?
In the mean time, anybody know what the heck it was in cigarettes that woke me up in the mornings? Maybe I could find it at the Walgreens?
