All I want is sleep

You never realize how much you appreciate sleep until you can't have it. My body on the other hand is getting a lot of sleep since I am on spring break, but I want to sleep more and my body doesn't. I've been waking up at 8 or 9 (which is when I wake up on a normal day) and I sit in bed for just long enough to realize I'm wide awake and I'm not doing anything. That's when I get out of bed and ready for the day.

On a normal day I would be complaining that I don't -get- to sleep because I have school and appointments to go to, I suppose I shouldn't say anything from here on out because my body is conditioned to wake up that early.

All through growing up I would wake up at 6:30 so that I could take my time getting ready and off to school at 8. When I went to my first semester of college I took classes at 7:30 which required me to wake up at 6 (I'm slow to get ready). I did the mission routine and got used to waking up that early (It's sad, but I already forgot at what time they make you wake up...probably because it was later than 6am like I was used to).

These days I've found it easier to work later in the night and stay up as late as 2am but I get less sleep because I wake up at 8 (six hours?) And what's most interesting is that I'm not suffering from it, in fact, I kinda feel like I have finally reached the right amount of energy.

All through my mission I had problems getting to be right at 1030 or whenever...I'd lay in bed for hours tossing and turning until I'd fall asleep. The moment I got home I told myself there was no point in wasting that valuable time from 1030-200 and so started my sleeping habits.

I'm telling you, my body works wonderfully at this schedule even though I might complain about it. Sure, I think it would be a lot nicer to sleep till 8:30 or 9 and that extra hour of sleep in the morning would be nice. But 8 seems to be okay.

Truth be told, my body definitely needs sleep, but it's questionable just how much.
