Hibernation

I slept a little later than I maybe should have last night. I fell asleep watching TV sometime after midnight, but didn't wake up once until I realised the TV was still on at 5.30am. I was woken again at about 8am by the alarm I had forgotten was set on my phone, but switched it off and went back to sleep. After 10.00am I heard my phone ringing but was too drowsy to answer. I woke up less than 30 minutes later and checked it. It was the Mrs. I called back and we had a quick chat. I was still feeling rather sleepy and ended up staying in bed, feeling no sense of necessity to get up, or even just stay awake at the very least. I woke up now and then throughout the day, but only got up when Big Sis texted me to let me know that she and Bro-in-Law were going to his parents' for dinner. It was 4.30pm. I had slept the entire day and still didn't feel completely restless. I was feeling utterly exhausted. I don't remember the last time I slept so late when I wasn't either sick or was catching up from a night out. I got up, got something to eat, then had a long soak in the bath. By the time I had finished, it was heading towards 8.00pm. I watched the X-Factor results while getting dried and dressed, but still felt tired. It's now 10.00pm and I am back in bed.

I'm not sure why I am quite so low in energy, but I guess I needed the rest. Or perhaps I am turning into a hibernatory animal.
