With school beginning next Monday, I have to start getting up at around 7:00 AM. As such, getting to sleep earlier would also be good. Nine PM would be welcome, but I doubt it's ideal. Ten or Eleven would still be acceptable. In any case, staying up past midnight is out of the question. I haven't done so much lately, but I consistently sleep until 10:00 AM. There was a time previously when 1 or 2 AM was a normal bed-time.
Last night, I glanced at the clock to see it read 1:15 or 2:15. I don't recall which. I shut down the computer, went upstairs and prepared myself for bed. It didn't take me long to realize I wouldn't be able to sleep - I hadn't been tired last night, even with Cross-Country running practise. I restarted the computer. At 4 AM I returned to my bed. I still wasn't tired, but I didn't want to be up when my mom awoke.
It was 5:30 ante meridiem last time I looked at the clock.
So, I thought. "Maybe sleep deprivation and running will tire me enough to go to bed earlier tomorrow, and thus awake earlier and kick me into school scheduling." I woke up at ten or ten thirty, as usual, which is amazing. Fortunately now, at 10:37 PM, I am a bit tired. Hopefully my alarm going off at 7 will awake me, and I can get into proper swing.
