You hear it soft and low in the distance. The steady, persistent rhythm starts out low and gradually increases in volume. There is a familiarity to it… although you can’t place it, you know you have heard it somewhere before. You roll over, shutting it out, and as you do you become faintly aware that the room seems brighter than you remember. The noise continues to increase in volume, getting louder and louder until you finally can’t take the incessant chirping for one more second. Finally, in a bewildered state, you reach out blindly. As your hand makes contact with cold plastic, recognition shoots through you: It’s your alarm. But how can that be? Through your fumbling, you hit the “snooze” button, resisting the urge to throw it against the wall.
When the alarm starts up for the second time, you realize there is no more resisting. Your mind knows, your body knows, and the piercing sound feels as if it is drilling directly into your brain.
It’s time to get up.
Have eight hours really gone by?
Like an airplane on autopilot, you begin to start your day. As you start to move around, you glance in the mirror, and what you see stops you in your tracks. Your hair is frizzy, staticky, Einstein-esque. Your face looks dull: mottled, slightly grey, and covered in pillow creases. You chalk it up to being half asleep, and tell yourself it’s still early.
Your morning routine continues, you start to really wake up, and as your mind sharpens, your thoughts focus. Why can’t you get a restful night’s sleep? It doesn’t seem like it should be this hard. As you continue getting ready, you quickly forget about your sleep the night before, now fully awake and fully focused on the day ahead. As you pull out the concealer and start to cover the dark circles under your eyes, your mind drifts back once again. It feels like every day you need more and more makeup to look like yourself. Is this how it has to be? Is there nothing you can do to restore your glowing complexion, and reduce the wrinkles etching themselves deeper and deeper into your face every day?
