Waking Up – The Debate

Have you ever noticed that when you are sleeping and when it comes time to wake up for something, you don’t fully awake (you’re half asleep), and your mind can sometimes run into a sort of debate with itself? I call it the debate between your logical and illogical inner selfs. It’s the brain trying to decipher what is or is not real through logical thinking.

Scenario one, you are sleeping but are slightly awakened by the sensation that you need to use the restroom. You are not fully awake, only half..so sometimes two thoughts may go through your head. Yes, you could fully wake up, and go use the restroom; but, you could also stay in bed and continue enjoying yourself since your in such a relaxed state of mind. So, your mind starts to feed you illogical thoughts like “maybe if I turn over to my other side, it will go away and I can continue sleeping”. At this point your mind argues with itself (for however short the time may be), until it comes to the appropriate decision (the logical decision), mostly because you have awaken enough to think straight.

I know it’s a random thought, but for some reason I wanted to record it in words somewhere. I find those moments to be odd yet interesting.
