My father used to throw a glass of water on me if I tried to sleep in on the weekends. Twenty years later, I think my brain is still trying to catch up on that lost sleep.
- gpspake 3y agoThat sounds pretty terrible.. My dad installed a little mini school bell next to my bed with a button he could push from downstairs. I used to hate it and do all sorts of things to disable it. Recently, I was visiting and I pushed the button and it still worked. As a dad, I had a little moment of realizing how hilarious it is in hindsight. Not sure if I'd feel the same way about the water.

I had trouble adapting to an adult sleep schedule from a very early age, and had some embarrassing episodes, as well as weird stuff like slipping into a dry bathtub late at night because I wanted to read a book. In high school, I began checking out, and my depression was chronic and major. I had a "girlfriend" (who was abusing me) so I stayed up late at night on the phone or visiting her. I was falling asleep and falling behind in classes. My parents were beside themselves. It didn't get any better.
