Children wake up way too fast
Watching small children, there are times I find it mysterious.
They wake up incredibly fast.
Just a moment ago,
Snooze...😴
they were completely asleep.
From my perspective,
"They're sleeping so soundly"
is about the extent of what I'm thinking as I watch them.
But then, the very next moment.
Snap! 👀
Standing up.
No, no, no.
Wait a second 🤣
You just woke up, right?
You were asleep just a second ago, weren't you?
Normally, humans are supposed to have a 'waking up' period.
Open eyes.
Look at the ceiling.
'Where am I...'
Check the situation.
Stretch a little.
And then,
"Guess I'll get up..."
is what happens.
At least, that's how I am.
In fact, even when I wake up,
"Five more minutes..."
I might even go back to sleep.
However, small children don't have that.
Sleep → Start activity
This takes about one second.
If it were a computer,
Windows would be up the moment you press the power button.
And there's not even a login screen.
No facial recognition either.
No updates either.
Immediate execution.
And the scary part starts here.
They're awake.
They stood up.
They walked.
They touched something.
……Too fast, too fast, too fast🤣
By the time adults
think,
“Oh, they’re awake,” they’ve already started moving.
Since they just woke up, they should be dazed for a while.
That common sense doesn’t apply here.
If anything,
Their HP is fully restored from sleeping.
It's the opposite for me.
Even after waking up in the morning, my HP is at 30.
My lower back hurts.
My shoulders hurt too.
I go to the bathroom.
I drink coffee.
Finally, my HP is at 40.
By the time I arrive at the office,
for some reason, my HP is at 25.
It's decreasing even though I haven't done anything😭
Children are different.
They sleep.
HP 100.
They wake up.
They sprint at full speed with HP 100.
That's why you can't take your eyes off small children.
They're asleep, so it's safe.
……That's not the case.
The time they are asleep is,
It's not downtime, it's charging time.
And there's no indicator light to let you know when they're fully charged.
Suddenly,
Snap! 👀
They open their eyes, and
the next moment, they're standing.
I wish they'd at least make a startup sound.
"Ta-da! ♪"
Or something like that.
That way, adults could,
"It's coming!"
I brace myself.
But in reality, it's a silent boot.
Sleeping soundly...😴
Eyes snap open👀
Up they spring!
And off to an adventure.
Watching a small child wake up, I think.
Being young is amazing.
No, wait,
It's beyond just being young.
That is nothing short of waking from sleep mode.
And when you become an adult,
waking from sleep mode is no longer enough.
Every morning,
I am rebooting an old computer.
Lately, for me,
"Configuring updates. Do not turn off your computer"
is about the amount of time I need.
Oh, children.
Please.
At least for 30 seconds after waking up,
please just be dazed.
With an adult's processing speed,
I can't keep up with your boot-up speed🤣
