To Zzzzz or Not to Zzzzzz: That is the Question

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?  But I'm incredibly indecisive and cannot decide where to start...

It happens.

Sleep is elusive.  No seriously.  When I was in college, I used to stay up late working on papers or playing games on the internet and then I'd sleep and wake up for class (most of the time).  Now I stay up late playing Epic Coaster on Facebook (or Bubble Spinner) or watching my daily dose of television* and before I know it, it's 3 am.  OH LOOK! And then I realize I have to be up in four hours so I can look/smell decent for work.  And the ONLY reason I'm ACTUALLY going to drag my butt out of bed at 7am, is because I have asked my mother to make sure I'm awake.

Pathetic right?

But hey, it's not like I ask her to do it everyday.  And I really only asked tonight (and by asked I mean, wrote a note on the bathroom mirror with Expo marker that she can't possibly miss) is because I don't want to get up before she's done in the shower.  Because then I have to pee and we only have one bathroom.  I'm really just being proactive.

But seriously, since I've a) graduated college and b) my summer job has ended (I know it's February but from May-August I had a good sleep schedule and I miss it), my sleep schedule has been as crazy as Lady Gaga's outfits.  In a purely exaggerated way of course. My mom says all I have to do is go to bed a half hour early every night until I'm going to bed at the time I want to be going to bed, and also wake up a half hour earlier every day.  This might work if I worked a 9-5 job like she does.  Instead, sometimes I work a 9-4 job and sometimes I work a 5-midnight job.  And when I work 5-midnight, I don't really see a point in being up at 8am.

I'm sure there's a solution for this... I just haven't found one yet.  And getting a new job is out of the question.  I LIKE my job, but that is a theory for another blog.

So goodnight vast world.  Hopefully your sleep schedule is not as erratic as mine.
