I have trouble falling asleep before 1 or 2 AM and usually don’t get to bed until past 2.  This doesn’t bode well for getting up in the morning, which is always a painful experience.  Yet, no amount of suffering in the morning seems to motivate me to get to bed earlier.  It’s difficult to go to sleep right when your body is reaching its peak energy levels.  It’s also difficult when your mind is reaching its peak activity levels.  I always want to do more at night and can stay more focused too.

I wonder how long it’s going to take before I can sleep at midnight again.  Perhaps never?  After all, I seem to be doing alright with 6-6.5 hours a night, then sleeping in on the weekends.  I love sleeping in more than most things and I’d definitely want to try an alternate work day in the future, getting up around noon and working until the late night.  It might not be healthy by normal standards, but I believe my body is telling me something about my personal internal clock that supersedes conventional norms.

This week has gone by at a decent pace and I’m glad that tomorrow is Friday!  That means that I won’t have to worry about how late I sleep, since I can just sleep in the next day.  🙂  It’s a satisfaction that few things in life can bring me.  Simple, yet so pleasurable.  Plus I’ve got an AMAZING body pillow that encourages me to stay in bed all day long.  When I first got it, I couldn’t climb out of bed for a week.  As I got more used to it, I can manage to let it go better, but it’s a great sleep aid.  If only Costco still sold that texture!  The ones they have now are nowhere as comfortable as the original ones they sold two years ago.  Pity, for I definitely would have gotten more.
