Wow, it's 5 am and it's official. I am an insomniac. I layed in bed. I tossed. I turned. I even tried counting sheep, but I just couldn't seem to fall asleep. At about 3, I decided to creep downstairs and watch a little television. Two hours later and here I am, wide awake. I'm not sure if this is a result of my wacky summer sleep schedule, or just excitement over my upcoming vacation. Either way, it has got me thinking about how wonderful sleep really is.
I would be flat out lying if I didn't admit that sleeping is one of my favorite hobbies. Something about being so comfortable and at peace that I can simply drift out of conscioiusness, is just so wonderful to me. I remember once, I was in 11th grade, I donated blood and my schools annual blood drive. Afterwards I had the worst headache, and I just wanted to be in bed. I got home and took such a wonderful nap, that I really did talk about it for days. Oh yes, I would give just about anything to be able to sleep like that night after night.
Of course, when I'm at college, sleep is scarce, which is my main defence against those who want to mock my late alarm clock every day during the summer. Sleep is just good. Its good for your mind and body and it just plain feels good. Hense my frustrations tonight... or should I say this morning?
I guess I really should try to sleep again. Goodnight!
