Oops daisy!!

[Topaz McKenna]

So this morning at 8am I was supposed to have workout #7. Well! I'm obviously a very smart girl because I forgot to set my alarm last night (I was super duper tired). My phones were on silent, and so I woke up feeling amazing and refreshed Then I looked at my phone for the time and saw it was 12pm! Talk about OOPS!!! I slept 11 hours (I was online until way too late!)...I obviously needed it, but shit shit shit...I hate when people don't call or sms a cancellation so I would understand if my trainer had the complete shits. Luckily she's awesome and when I smsed her to tell her I'm an idiot and overslept, she kindly let me reschedule for this evening. Also I've never done that before, so she knows it wasn't intentional. I didn't miss anything else, no appointments and only a couple of calls, so phew! But note to self...check and recheck your alarm before going to bed when you're dog tired!

Any of you out there that have done the same?

xoxo

I always wake up about 3 minutes before my alarm is due to go off.... whether its set or not ...

When I'm on a normal roster I do that...or if I'm exclusively on nights. But I only had 3 hours sleep yesterday, and at the moment half my week I do days, the other half nights so my body doesn't quite know what's going on! I've done mostly nighshift for the last 4 years now so when I do switch to days it can go a little spastic

Wow 11 hours of sleep is good Topaz! I think I get a sleep that long about once a year! I'm normally lucky to get 6 hours, I usually wake up at 4am and can't get back to sleep.

No need to feel guilty Topaz sounds like you needed it.


Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight loss or weight gain.[1] It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function.[2] Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction.[2] Complete absence of sleep over long periods is impossible for humans to achieve (unless they suffer from fatal familial insomnia); brief microsleeps cannot be avoided.[3] Long-term total sleep deprivation has caused death in lab animals.[4]

Hey Babe I had the same problem last night. Went to bed at a decent hour and thought I would wake at a reasonable hour unaided by alarm clocks or phone. WRONG I woke to my flatmate banging her heart out on the safety door.
Note to self: Use alarm clock ALWAYS xx
