Sleep Is For the Weak

I have been having sleep issues lately, and I hate it.

Ok, so this is what’s going on. I wake up at around 6:30 in the morning every day, get ready for work, and be on my way around 7:30. I stay in school until 12 noon, run some errands until about 2 in the afternoon, and as soon as I get home and sit on the couch, I pass out. I can’t help myself. Then I wake up around 7 in the evening, or 6, if I force myself, cook dinner, watch T.V. and internet. I don’t start feeling tired until around 3:30, leaving me with three pitiful hours to sleep. Do you see what’s happening to me? This stupid cycle has to stop, otherwise it will be more difficult once the regular school year starts.

It’s ten past one. I’m feeling tired, but I’m not sleepy. If I don’t sleep in, I know I will feel tired in the afternoon and will want to take a nap, which means I will end up staying awake all night. It’s the weekend, and I shouldn’t really care. It’s just that this is my chance to reset the cycle. I feel so sleep deprived that it makes me want to cry. How lame is that?

On a happier note, I baked some chocolate chip cookies earlier. I also bought the pop maker, and I have been having fun with it. I will post about the cookie and the pop some other time. I need to sleep.
