Sleep.

Why is so important to us? It seems like this little secret that we don't really talk to anyone about. Think about it. If the average person sleeps 8 hours a day, then that means they are sleeping away 1/3 of their life. So much time is spent laying in bed with our eyes closed. Yet it is something that is necessary. If one goes too long without sleep, they start seeing things. If sleep isn't gained then we feel unable to do anything around us. We spend tons of money on beds, mattresses, sheets, comforters, pillows, and other things. Isn't funny how we spend so much time doing it, but not that much time talking about it? Maybe you'll mention "I'm tired", but you don't say "Man, at 4:00 this morning I was sleeping so good."

I bring this topic up, because it is ruining my life. Now don't get me wrong, I love sleep. But that's the problem. I overslept my classes today. I cannot afford to miss anymore classes, and I doubt my professor is going to be like "Oh sleep, yeah, i understand." That is the worst excuse in the history of excuses. I don't really know what I'm going to do. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be here for ANOTHER semester anyway, but I'm just getting tired (no pun intended...but I guess it is now or I would have chosen a different word). I'm sick of going through the motions of studying, and doing all this stuff. I doubt I'm even going to be teaching for long anyway. I want to do something more exciting, something that I can look back at and absolutely love it.

So I would sleep on this, but I bet I can't sleep anymore after sleeping all morning. So I guess awareness to my problem is probably the best solution. I'll have to go back to setting three alarms. Two with my clock and one with my cell phone. So let's just hope that I don't have anymore problems with this sleep factor, or I think I'm going to go insane.
