Wish I had a cat to talk to, but I can barely care for myself.

“Sorry if is difficult but I have a weird thing. I need about 5 minutes, when I wake up, to just be in my own little world. Would you please not talk to me right after I’ve woken up?”
Things like this can have an enormous effect on one’s stress levels. If you know it stresses you, that’s enough cause for you to benefit from getting the people around you to give you a little space in the morning.
5 minutes is superhuman btw, I need a good half hour before anyone can expect anything remotely reasonable from me
You should ask for what you need. Even if people refuse, at least it’s an outright refusal which is more clear than not having asked.
It feels uncomfortable, but the payoff for this kind of boundary-drawing is enormous.
I call this the boot up sequence
I have this pet peeve of loud morning talkers. I don’t know how to explain it but I believe I don’t mind loud talkers in everyday life but I notice it right after waking up.
(Usage of the word talkers over speakers chosen to emphasize the human and not the electronic product)
I’ve recently realised that if I listen to someone talking or say anything myself after waking up to go to the toilet or something, I will not be able to go back to sleep again.
My uneducated guess is that it wakes up the language centre in my brain and for some reason one that is active, sleep is done for the day.
Night people and morning people cannot understand each other.
souce?

Cat owners will know this is actually reversed.
Cats are like HUMAN!! It is 4AM and my food bowl isn’t full.
