Insomniac
I wish I could fall asleep on the phone everyday. Talking on the phone is one of the few things that help me fall asleep, because I’m so relaxed and comfortable and I can just doze off listening to someone’s voice (ok truthfully, not just ANYONE’s voice, I would feel so odd falling asleep to like, some random person’s voice, they would have to be a really good friend). I’ve fallen asleep on the phone with two people…and just like what I said above, they were really good friends. Unfortunately for me, it’s not possible to fall asleep on the phone everyday because either:
- they’re cool with it but their battery dies and they don’t want that to happen
- they think it’s odd/weird/psychotic..why would you want to listen to someone breathing?
- they find it offensive if you feel sleepy.. If you feel feel sleepy, just tell the person and have the courtesy to say “I’m going to go to sleep now, goodnight!” (If people feel this way.. to my defence, if I’m falling asleep I’m usually not conscious enough to say that I’m falling asleep ((because HELLO, I’M FALLING ASLEEP so that whole argument above is kind of void)), and even if someone asks me if I’m sleepy and if we should get off the phone - my subconscious is programmed to say “no, no I’m awake”. It’s just the way I am, love me or hate me!)
I don’t think wanting to fall asleep listening to someone’s voice or breathing is weird at all (but then again, it might just be some weird psychological thing with me.. I used to fall asleep at people’s houses when our family went to go visit other families). What I mean is, biologically or naturally or whatever, living creatures are just wired like that (for humans it’s usually women and children). When a new puppy comes into a household, a hot water bottle and a clock is often wrapped up so that the puppy can fall asleep thinking it’s their mother. When children are small, they often fall asleep listening to their mother or father telling them a bed-time story. Maybe I’m just too much of a people person. I just feel safe, comfortable, and connected to the person I suppose and that’s why I start dozing off. Based on what I’ve heard, some people would think it’s cute and wouldn’t mind, and some people hate people who fall asleep on phones. What do you think about falling asleep on the phone? Do you hate people who do that to you or do you find yourself falling asleep on the phone? When I went on vacation, the only way I could fall asleep was by having my headphones in my ears and listening to music. I’ve also bought cd’s that had 80 minutes of ocean wave sounds, or 80 minutes of a rainstorm. The ocean waves’ cd gave me terrible dreams (I can’t swim and am super afraid of drowning), and the rainstorm one was ok but I lost it.
I bet the more you read my blog, the weirder you think I am. This isn’t the half of it honey!
