Day 8: Can't Stay Up Late

  This isn't really a journal so much as just documented follow-up. I think I'm still working out the end of this experiment. As some of you dear readers might have read, it did not go so well when I tried to stay up late enough to get on the track I wanted. You'll notice I skipped day seven and that's because nothing important happened yesterday. I'm sort of where I want to be at this point, I just have to get my habits accustom to this new schedule. Normally I'd leave all the stuff I want to do until later that day because I know I have the time, now I do whatever it is, like checking comics and blogs and what-have-you in the morning before class.

  Last night I went to bed at 10 pm because I just could not stay awake. I think I'm very slowly moving up to where I'd like to be, as I said, but I think it will take the rest of this week to really get settled. Hopefully tonight I'll make it til 11 pm, or even midnight. The reason I need to get my habits lined up with my schedule is because tomorrow I don't have class so I could sleep all day and stay up all night but not only can I not do that physically, I don't really want to. I have to be up by 8:45 more or less on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the back and forth of sleeping in is what caused this realignment in the first place. It's a bit of a shame because my roommate can stay up for the most part and it's nice to hang out with him but I think in the long run going to bed at midnight every day, even when I don't have class the next day, is a good practice. I don't know what's going to happen come weekends because I do not look forward to getting up at 8 am on a Saturday (I woke up at 5 am today feeling okay but managed to fall back asleep for two hours). The trouble with getting up early on weekends is the opposite reason for resetting myself; everyone is sleeping in!
