in between sleeping
ABOUT
Hello! I'm Georgina, and I'm a twenty-something from the UK. I started in between sleeping in 2018, mostly as an outlet for my thoughts and wonderings. I've always loved writing, and I could win 'Overthinker of the Year' if there ever was such an award, so writing a blog was probably an inevitability! When I read a Buzzfeed article in 2018 on the failings of a psychiatric hospital, I felt compelled to write but had nowhere to voice my thoughts, so I decided to start a blog. The writing part came easily, but the name? Not so much. I played around with names like 'Sonder' which was a word I had found online but it didn't feel quite right (still a cool word though, look it up!). Then, I realised that I spend most of my time waiting for the next most acceptable time to go back to sleep and have a nap, or basically...in between sleeping.
I've written a few things here and there over the years, often based on what I'm feeling in the moment. Sometimes it's a heavier topic like mental health, or a lighter one like things I observed or felt while travelling. I find it difficult to write about just one category of topics since I write about whatever is on my mind, which is precisely in contrast to all the blog/social media advice out there! But the thing is, I'm not an expert in anything. Okay, maybe my dog. But that's about it. So I'm afraid I can't tell you to 'follow me for XYZ' because I can't promise I won't be nattering on about five other things! Essentially, take the 'categories' on the homepage with a pinch of salt - and just read whatever fits your interest.
One thing I am really keen on is making sure that the site is accessible for anybody and everybody, but I may not get it right. So if you find it difficult or there are things that would make it easier for you, please let me know!

Thank you for checking in between sleeping out, and I hope you enjoy it!
