About two weeks ago, when I woke up, I felt the compelling urge to recite Hamlet’s “to be or not to be” soliloquy in ubbi-dubbi. I don’t know if I can type it exactly, but it would sound something like: "Tubbu-bubbee ubbor nobbut-tubbu-bubbee . . . " It’s more than a little strange.
This morning when I woke up, I had to say, “Some hae meat but cannot eat; some wad eat but lack it; we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be thankit.”
Huh? Anyone else have such bizarre compulsions when you wake up? It’s just a little strange.
My middle son, when he was about 6, told me the first thing he said every morning when he woke up was the “baddest” word. Just so he could get it out of the way. :eek:
No…but I always invariably wake up with some song in my head. This may sound like a happy thing, but it’s always stuck in my head. And it’s always a different one. And it’s often one I know only a few lines to, so I end up singing the same few lines in the shower.
I have total sleep amnesia every day. The first thing through my mind is along the lines of, “What day is it? What time is it? Do I have to get up?”
Then, sometimes, I’m off on some weird fantasy about being on some talk show and discussing the news of the day. Sometimes I even talk out loud as I’m showering, getting dressed, etc.
Between the time I first hit the snooze button on the alarm to when I finally wake up (which is often more than an hour), I invariably dream that I’ve gotten up, showered, gotten dressed, gone into work, and gotten yelled at at work for being late.
So my first thoughts on actually waking up are, “Damn! You mean I’ve gotta do all that again?”
Even after 25 years or so of waking to an alarm clock, my first thought every single morning is: What the hell is that noise and how can I make it stop!!??
It doesn’t happen in the mornings, but throughout the day I can get phrases or sentences stuck in my head the same way music gets stuck in one’s head. It’s very bizarre.
Always a song…I mean ALWAYS a song, often one I’ve haven’t heard in a LONG time or something I don’t particularly like. Kind of annoying even. Oh well.
