Sleep

Sleeping has become more of an optional thing for me than a necessity. It's not, o I need sleep...more so, can I afford to sleep tonight. On the one hand, I will be perfectly rested...on the other hand, I will not finish my homework and will be unprepared for class.

I've always been the student that put sleep on the backburner. I think of it as a way of preparing myself for medical school. If i'm already prepared to not sleep, I'm all the more ready to become a doctor.

On the otherhand, I've found that not sleeping is causing me to become super stressed and make some odd decisions, along with accumulating some very odd mannerisms. But, which each night that I do not sleep, the less I seem to want it.

Perhaps sleep is becoming the dessert I always crave. The moment I indulge, it becomes just abundantly clear how much I desire, crave and need the dessert.

17 credit hours is no joke.
I think i'm starting to crack....and the semester has barely begun

  1. Actually, for me it's the complete opposite. I can't concentrate on my work if I'm sleepy. Whenever I have to decide whether I want to sleep or just continue working, I always end up going to sleep. Sometimes I do regret it, but it's just easier for me to go to sleep and then get up early and finish the work.

    Good luck with everything!
