Or lack of...

I've seen a lot of sleep related posts recently so I will do one. Yes, that's right: Because everyone else is doing it. Give into peer (and self!) pressure kids, it's fun.

How are all of you people having such messed up, vivid dreams where you can smell things and remember the touch of things? I haven't had a dream like that for many months. I can't even remember the last time I had an intensely insightful vivid dream.


My nights usually consist of catching up on new TV shows on hulu or watching a movie or essentially doing absolutely nothing until 1 in the morning and then deciding to think about doing my homework.

Homework.

I'm pretty organized. I have my whole homework schedule mapped out for each day when I get in any number of friends' cars to go home for the day. I have fully motivated to do my homework when BAM!! the windows roll down, wind flows through my hair, the sun blinds my eyes and comfortable conversations begin and end with a opening/closing the door joke. I get inside and turn on the oven or make myself something to eat (since I don't eat lunch, obviously) and open up my computer to the beautiful mac turn-on noise and let myself sink into my own self-loathing abyss. Before I know it its dinner time which flies by because I'm never involved in the conversation besides my few two-cents worth sarcastic remark. Back upstairs, onto my bed and back into the show. Once again before I know it It's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon! and then it's 12:30am. Should I do my homework that I wanted (literally) so much to do at 2:46pm? No. I think I'll just watch a quick 21 minute episode of something from the Thursday night lineup on hulu and then go to sleep at sometime between 11 and 1 each night only to wake up at 4:00, 5:00, 5:30 and finally 6:00. I don't just coincidentally wake up at those times, I set alarms for those times because then I am more inclined to actually wake up when 6:00 rolls around after a long(actually short), sweaty (rolling around from strenuous dreams that i don't remember) night. This is actually becoming more and more unnecessary. Not because I am finally realizing a healthier alternative HA don't be silly. no. It's because it's getting brighter earlier and when i see that it is light outside it makes it easier to wake up because when it is dark i just want to fall asleep during those 10 paces to the bathroom.



I do find it interesting that in order to reach that stage of subconscious enlightenment you have to clear your head of all the thoughts you are about to be reminded about in a subtle more interesting way. This is also why i haven't had one of those dreams in a while because my brain doesn't have time to clear itself. Because what usually occurs is merely 10-20 seconds before i fall asleep I turn my computer off, take a deep breath and essentially pass-the fuck-out.

I tap the ho in the daylight
