Sleep

I need sleep! I need sleep so much that I've devoted one of my blogs for this past week to sleep! :) I'm a person that needs sleep at night. Some people can get along just fine on 4 or 5 hours of sleep each night, but I am NOT one of them. In high school my friends always made fun of me because I went to bed at about 10 or 10:30 every night as long as I didn't have a lot of homework or a test to study for. If I didn't have anything else to do, I just went to sleep. In college though I keep staying up just to stay up. Sometimes I'm up late doing homework or studying and that doesn't bother me as long as I managed my time well during the day and it's just the amount of work I have to do that keeps me up. Typically I found myself getting between 5 and 6 hours of sleep each night and it is not enough for me. I have trouble keeping my eyes open in classes (particularly around 9:30am) and I'm always tired. I get mad at myself because every morning I wake up (7:45 mon, wed, fri) and ask myself over and over why did I stay up that late? It is going to be one of my goals over the next couple of months before the first semester is over to get into better sleeping habits. I want to try and get at least 7 hours of sleep, maybe 8 if I'm really lucky! I think it will just make the school day more enjoyable when I won't be struggling to stay awake. We'll see how that goes haha!
