My take on life.
Sleep is bad? NOOOOoooo...
So yea, for the last month or so, I've been a little lazy in the mornings, seeing as I work nights Tuesday through Saturday, and usually don't have to leave this place till like 4 in the afternoon. But today was different. Being as big a fan of space travel that I am, I had to personally ensure that the space shuttle touched down ok this morning (it was supposed to come down from 4-5am, but got delayed to 6-7am due to bad weather at the preferred landing site. So I got up for the first one, but hearing it was delayed, I went back to sleep for the next few hours. Then after everything went well (It's amazing how fast it goes from space to runway, and halfway around the world at the same time)
ANYWAYS, back the important part (me!)
Asides from sleeping in all the time, despite all the technical hours of free time I have while awake, I've been generally extremely unproductive the last few weeks. And then today, the one day I got up early, I managed to get like a million things done. I did the laundry, washed all the dishes, cleaned up this place a bit, and had time to actually prepare, make and cook a real meal from raw ingredients. I'm talking I made my own bbq sauce to go with the chicken I was marinating in the fridge. Seriously. If you'd seen the way I've been eating for the last few weeks, you'd be in shock. Anyways, I did all this, and managed to have enough time to get all cleaned up and ready for work on time.
That's more work in a single day (a work day no less) than I had done in the last week and a half, including both weekends. I know. I'm scared too.
In conclusion, I'm going to try getting up at a decent hour, and limiting my sleep to about 6-7 hours (instead of the 8-12 I was getting before ;) for a bit and see how that works out.
Also, I'd just like to point out that this doesn't mean I LIKED doing all these chores and stuff all of a sudden, I'd still rather lounge around or play Guild Wars or something.. But sometimes stuff just has to get done (which sucks). So at any rate, I'll still sleep in when I can, but I'll just have to make sure there isn't anything that needs doing around here beforehand. I miss being a kid with free everything :p
