Coffee & Writing

Do you ever get that exhausted feeling where you feel like you could sleep forever? Well, I have a very appropriately named disorder: EDS, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness.

Some of the fun things about EDS is falling asleep with a drink in your hand; I once woke up pouring a soda on my blanket. More recently I was eating a bowl of generic Rice Krispies and I hadn’t spilled it, but someone knocked on my door, I woke up, the Rice Krispies went flying and all I could say was, “scheisse!” (the German word for s@*%)

You may be fatigued by this post because it isn’t very interesting, but I was fatigued when I wrote it, and I even walked away from it I was so fatigued by it. So, I shall end things now before I put you to sleep.

UPDATE: I have been officially diagnosed with idipoathic hypersomnia instead. There’s really not that much difference between the two. Idipoathic means, “of unknown origin,” in case you were wondering. Hypersomnia is basically the opposite of insomnia. So, sometimes I can asleep at the keyboard /////////////////////////////////////////
