I'm needlessly depriving myself of sleep. Often on weekdays I lose out on sleep for the reasons that are fully expected of a college student: homework up the wazoo!
On weekends, I catch up on sleep usually, but do it in a manner that messes up my sleep patterns for the rest of the week, regardless of the homework situation. I'm a night person. Always have been. So the weekend comes, and I stay up late. It doesn't matter how tired I am, I almost never go to bed at a decent hour. The last few weekends I've ended up staying awake until nearly dawn. Why? I have no idea. It just happens.
Sunday night rolls around, and I should be getting to bed at a decent hour so I can get up early on Monday . . . but since I stayed up until 4:30am the night before and slept until noon or later, I CAN'T SLEEP!
So I drag myself into school on 2 or 3 hours of sleep, feel horrible all day, and go home to a mountain of homework . . . that keeps me up until who knows when. I usually (not always) get more than 2 hours of sleep unless I'm working on a term paper or some other big project, but because I didn't get to catch up after getting so little sleep the night before . . . I walk into school even more of a zombie on Tuesday.
Often by the end of the week, I'm starting to get a little more evened out. Then Friday comes around . . . and I stay up far too late . . . and sleep in far too late . . . and the process starts all over again.
Going to bed at a decent hour should be simple, right? For me, it's not, and I don't know why.
*sigh*
Tomorrow's gonna suck. *yawn*
