What I Talk About When I Talk About Sleeping-In

A look at how my bed nurtures procrastination

I started sleeping-in when I was 20. Since then, I have destroyed the snooze button on 15 different alarm clocks. In July 2020, I spent an average of 20 hours a day, six days a week shuffling between my bed, the kitchen and the washroom. In no particular order.

Lately, I have developed a fondness for binge-watching Netflix. Although I am losing the battle for the remote against my family, I have no intention of quitting. To give up binging would be like giving up laziness, which would be like giving up procrastination.

When I exhaust my Netflix membership my profile will read:

My life is part bathroom breaks, part online shopping, facilitated by the snugness of the couch ( including damaging the pause and rewind buttons on the remote) and loads of junk food.

Future laziness hinges on the possible return of my favourite shows post-COVID-19 in 2021. Some of the highlights in social distancing were derived from a can of beer, a bag of chips and loads of chocolates and cookies.

There are moments I view myself as I might appear to an outsider, as a gal who knew how to live her life to the fullest”, disregarding all expectations.

Sleeping-in is a must-do in the lives of procrastinators. For a brief moment, they are waking up from their couches to expose their sleep habits to our zombie-eyed world.

Most of what I know about procrastination I’ve reinforced from sleeping-in and binging every day. Specifically, I believe that procrastination requires, in order of priority, sleeping in, binging and stuffing my face, all of which find their complements in the habit of procrastination.

Sleeping-in is the antidote to the constant buzz of modern living. It brings the stressed-out individual face to face with the pillow and without which no procrastination can take place.

For me, sleeping-in is not just a requirement for the master procrastinator, it’s pretty well synonymous with it.
