Sleep

June 18th:

During the school year, I kept my self-enforced bed time/lights out time at 10 pm on all school nights. With my alarm going off at 6:45 am, I usually got at least 8 hours of sleep. This kept me sane and happy. I had become so accustomed to the 8+ hours of sleep I had been getting for the last nine months that now that it is summer and I'm going to bed after midnight, I have been having to choose between getting up early (between 7-9 is what I call early) and being über tired or sleeping in until 10 or 12 and missing my favorite time of day. That was a long sentence. Moving on...

So, I think I need to change my sleeping habits. I wanna go to bed earlier, and get up earlier. This is going to be pretty hard since I love staying up, but I prefer the morning hours to the midnight hours, so I think this is the right thing to do! But that means that I need to shift my whole night schedule a few hours earlier - start my blog posts BEFORE ten... Le sigh.

On other notes, today I had lunch with a good friend E - but not before going to the library and checking out an extremely girly teen novel, being annoyed by a smelly man taking my favorite arm-chaired cranny, and facetiming with my mbff (male bff) G. It was nice spending some time by myself at my favorite haunt (the Mountain View public library). Two summers ago I spent almost all of my unscheduled free time there, writing fiction and day dreaming. I guess times change - I hardly have any time to myself anymore!

I also spent... 270 minutes in a row watching Smallville with my mom... My back is seriously not loving me right now. Fold-up chairs aren't lovely to sit in for 4.5 hours.... Eh heh heh...

Well, I'm hopefully going to go to sleep soon (but maybe I'll begin that trend tomorrow night...) and you should too! Take care of your body and mental health! And keep it classy!!
