Sleeping Blues

My sleeping rhythm is messed up. I’m pretty sure something went wrong and I was supposed to be a hedgehog or some other animal that lives during the night. For some reason my head decided that sleeping is something you should do during the day and that nighttime is a good time to clean your room or start studying for a test. Unfortunately most people don’t agree with that sleep-all-day-lifestyle so I still have ‘unnecessary’ things like uni and work during the day. Its probably a good thing I have them cause they kind of sort of maybe possibly keep my rhythm a little normal. Never seeing any daylight and sun wouldn’t be any fun either.

So during the day I’m always tired, walking around like a zombie. At about 7pm I start getting more active. When I feel like it’s a good time to get some sleep –you can see this coming-  I’m walking around the house wide awake. When I finally get my head to understand I should really get some sleep its usually somewhere past midnight. And even then it takes me a loooong time to fall asleep. Once I really convinced myself to get some sleep my head suddenly decides to prank me by starting some crazy thought machine or something. Suddenly I find myself wondering about the meaning of life or what would happen if you died in space. Would you just float around forever so that the people who are going to their holiday homes on the moon in 50 years, can see you floating around? Most of the time I fall asleep thinking things like this and that usually results in crazy and messed up dreams.

I always regret not going to bed earlier when I have to wake up really early the next morning. But for some reason I seem to forget that during the day and then I do it all again. As a result I’m always tired and no matter how much I sleep during the weekends, it’s never quite enough to catch up on  all the lost sleep. Suddenly hibernation doesn’t sound too bad at all.
