The Long Road

05/05/2003 Archived Entry: "Unnatural"

I think it’s pretty funny that, if left to my own devices, I will always move my sleeping time to 5am-2pm. If I had it my way, the world would definitely run with working hours in the afternoon and at night.

Every time I have to get up early, even after a full night’s sleep, I’m never really productive in the morning; I also have problems focusing on anything, including regular conversations.

Obviously, I’ve lived the last couple of weeks according to ‘my clock’ so I tried to wrench myself away from that a little today but it’s been pretty hard. I keep falling asleep and can’t really do anything that requires concentration.

The stupidest thing is that whenever I try to go to bed early, like say at 10, I always end up waking up at around 1am and not falling back asleep for at least an hour. Thats so immensely frustrating when I'm trying to get a good 9 hours before class or work.

I know that some of you guys tend towards these sleeping patterns, but do you also find yourself unproductive in the mornings even if you get a full night’s sleep?

Indeed, after a while and I adjust to the insane working world times, it is all right in the morning, but right now, mornings are horrible.

I find mornings more productive...like between 4am - 8am for studying for exams...than going from 12am - 4am...however, I work Saturday mornings...cuz I know it would be wasted otherwise...;)

Mornings are good... What will you do when you get a 9-5 job like last summer? I remember how rough you looked at 9 am. He he he!
