Falling asleep after everyone and waking up before everyone and hearing their snores and wonderful dreamy bliss in between is torture for a human. I’ve been suffering in a semi-insomniac state for years now, though it’s gotten worse more recently. It all makes me wonder exactly what it would be like to be one of those blessed vampires who doesn’t need sleep. As a mom, I would have enough time everyday to do all my “chores,” errands and anything else that wiggles its way onto my to-do list all while still retaining some “me” time. Imagine how many books I could write if I had 24 fully functional hours a day to do things?! That would be heaven!
But… then again, maybe not. Just how quickly would I become bored? Because part of the package deal is immortality; forever. You can only write & edit for so long, learn so many new languages, venture throughout so many continents, etc. Reading I would/will never tire of, especially with the mountain of new fabulous books constantly popping up, yet even with lower e-book prices, I would still need a good supply of cash to support my habit. As a human, it’s nothing for me to finish an entire book in merely a couple hours; with vamp speed, I’d be going through at least 3 a night! Hmm, when I think of all the books I would like to read though, if I had unlimited time, it’s suddenly seeming a bit more enticing
Suddenly there are more good aspects to being a modern day vampire, at least according to the books, than bad. Perhaps I am a bit uneducated on the subject though. Where, oh where, is Lexi or Kellan when I need them?
Here’s to all you out there getting more sleep than me!
