My Thoughts On The State Of My Sleep Schedule

    Sleep is a very important part of life. Ideally (key word there), around a third of every day should be spent sleeping. Without a sufficient amount of sleep, the human body does not want to function any more. Sleep is a key factor in good health and healing, and a good sleep schedule contributes to a good lifestyle. Likewise, a bad sleep schedule contributes just as must to a bad lifestyle.
    I have a bad sleep schedule. Remember the term “ideally?” My sleep schedule is not ideal. Since I’ve been used to being able to stay up late and sleep in from summer break, the sudden transition to not being able to sleep in and having to wake up bright and early for classes has not been entirely a breeze. Sure, nothing is stopping me from simply going to bed at a reasonable time and having plenty of sleep before the morning, but that’s a lot of valuable day that I could be doing better things with! In the few hours I would need to take to improve my sleep schedule, I could be doing important things, like absolutely nothing.
    Pretty soon, I will most likely no longer be able to put up with the looming sense of drowsiness that comes with not getting the right amount of sleep that I need for basic human function and (hopefully) start listening to my body and go to bed when I should instead of two to four hours later than that threshold. With that, I bid you, the reader, good night. Eventually. You’ll probably be in bed before me.
