I’m getting a bit tired of being nocturnal now.
It wasn’t exactly intentional, but I’ve got stuck in a really bad pattern of sleeping in the past week or so. As I mentioned in my last post, I found that the on;y time I could make any progrss with my coursework was at the last possible moment, the night before it was due in. With a few pieces of coursework due in the space of a week, I ended up pulling a few too many all-nighters.
Thing is, by the time this was done, I was stuck in a habit of going to bed at 6-10am, and getting up at 2-6pm. That is not good.
I tried to get out of it. But I’m not good with alarms. I’ve been known to turn off alarms in my sleep without realising. I’ve often slept through alarms set for classes or work. So now that I’m going into 2 weeks with no specific schedule, an alarm set for the morning, making irritating noises at me after 4 hours sleep, does nothing. I’ll hit it repeatedly for about half an hour to make it snooze, and eventually it’ll either give up on me, or I’ll find the button that turns it off. Or knock it off the desk.
I even tried skipping sleep one night (or day) and staying up until the next night. Somehow though, after being tired all day, by the time it got to 10pm, I wasn’t tired. In the end, I still stayed up fairly late (though not as late as I had been lately). Thing is, apparently my sleep just added up, because I then somehow slept for around 14 hours, and still woke up at 4pm.
I think my body’s just given up on sleeping now though. I wasn’t paricularly tired last night. I slept for a few hours this morning, but just kinda rolled around half asleep for most of it. Then I got up, sat around for a bit, went out. Now I’m a bit tired and feeling quite lazy, but I tried laying down and didn’t fall asleep.
Life without sleep would be very convenient. There aren’t enough hours in the day for life. Or at least not for procrastinating about life.
I don’t really have much else to say at the moment. This has been an incredibly uneventful week (as always), so I guess I’ll leave it at that.
