I’m still a bit scarce on the ‘net at the moment. I did manage to get through a backlog of assignments and do a decent job on them (maybe) last week, though, and now have nothing due for a little while. So huzzah to that, I suppose. Now I just have to survive for a few more weeks, after which the semester will be over.
Anyway, today’s topic is sleep. I’ve had a problem (although it’s so so much a problem as a feature) recently, in that I’m constantly tired and always want to sleep (or even just lay in bed). Not to hypersomnia levels or anything, but definitely to the point where it’s getting annoying.
I mentioned in a recent blog entry that I don’t understand how some people can stay up all night and get but a few hours sleep. For the past few weeks, I’ve been sleeping for about nine hours each night (and staying in bed for a lot longer). Usually I’d wake up after eight hours, and ideally I’d only need seven or eight per night, but at the moment I’ll be yawning and sleepy all day unless I get the full nine. I don’t know why I’m constantly tired and constantly lying in bed during the middle of the day. Also it’s probably not a Good Thing that the most exciting part of my day is going to bed, and the worst is waking up.
Further, it’s made me rather unproductive. My attitude towards schoolwork always ends up being “Screw it, I’m going to bed and shall deal with the consequences later.”
Oh look, I just wrote an entry whinging about how I “only” get nine hours sleep a night. Obvious non-problem is obvious.
I was an 8-hourer (minimum) until I had a baby. Funny how suddenly you learn to cope on 3-4 hours. ;)
Lucky you! I don’t know what I do each night but I only end up getting around 7 and a half hours of sleep each night. And then I sleep in on weekends. :P
I enjoy sleep a lot! I’ll sleep twelve hour sometimes if I’ve got nothing pressing to do, and nobody bothers me. Sounds like you’re just stressed. Bet you won’t be so tired once the semester is over.
I find my sleep needs fluctuates from time to time. There are weeks where I can go with only 4-5 hours a night and still feel fine, and then there are weeks where I sleep from 9-10 hours and still feel exhausted. It’s very strange.
Dude, I know where you’re coming from. I get my full 8 hours sleep but am STILL tired. No matter what I do, I just wanna lounge in bed. But I know why I’m like this..its cos I’m stressed. Its also why I’m eating 10 times what I usually would haha.
I don’t like getting out of bed either, but I’m guessing that’s just me being lazy lol. Maybe you should visit the doctor? I used to be tired, and blah all the time, and it turned out I had (still have actually) a Vitamin D deficiency lol.
I hope your sleeping sorts itself out!
[...] the moment. What with leaving all my work until the last minute, my busy weeks, and the fact that all I want to do is sleep, I haven’t been around as much as usual. However! My busy weeks at work are subsiding, and I [...]
