Some Thoughts On My Bodyclock

October 15, 2002 - 3:52am

My sleeping and waking life is a Catch-22 of sorts.

If I don't get enough sleep one night, it is all I can do to pull myself out of bed and get to class. The whole day I can't concentrate and it's pretty much a waste. Sometimes, after a day like this, I fall right into bed, sometimes, insomnia still results.

Conversely, if I get plenty of sleep, I have a really productive, good, happy day, and then cannot get to sleep that night.

The only time I didn't have trouble falling asleep recently was when I was coding over the summer and would just have 18 hour days followed by 10 hours of sleep and another 18 hour day.

Obviously, there is not enough room for this schedule in one day.

10 + 18 = 28

28 > 24

{For anyone who has trouble with the math.}

So I would just turn my schedule over and over again until days were at night and nights were in day and then back again. It was ideal.

What is a woman to do when no internal schedule is inherent to her, when sun and moon have no effect and she has to bend herself to the schedule of the world?

(if one more person tells me it's a matter of habit I'll have to repeat this whole diatribe for you next time we meet and you don't want that, because it will be much more passionate in person)

Sleepy rambling. Hopefully, I can go to sleep now.
