Rude Awakening
noun
Def: "A sudden and often unwelcome realization."
I can think of no better way to blanket my day-to-day experience: I am constantly riddled with rude awakenings.
I am the kind of person that frequently gets lost in work. Hours fly happily by without notice. I am also the kind of person that positively loathes distraction, but can't seems to be completely and consistently rid of it.
