Sleepless in San Jose
The movie Sleepless in Seattle has been occupying my mind lately and I don't know the reason why. I think it's because of the lack of sleep I have been experiencing this whole week. Sleepless in San Jose was the best I could come up with. What strains me the most is that I don't really know the reason why I can't fall asleep. Worry, stress, excitement, I don't know. I just don't seem to experience any of these emotions when I think about it. Maybe, it's because I have been going to sleep late and waking up so early that my eyes cannot grasp the idea that I am actually falling asleep. Through the week, I went to sleep at around 1:00 or 1:30 a.m. and woke up at around 5:00 or 6:00 a.m. There was this buzz in my head every time the hand struck 5:00 and I was forced to wake up. So, as soon as my soul came back to earth, it did not want to go back to its regular position and I was forced to keep my eyes open. Every single day this week, this event kept occurring. It bothered me tremendously because I lost track of the days and I was too tired to carry out any duties. I was terribly groggy and my body felt weak after the lack of rest. So, yesterday, I decided to go to sleep at 10:00 p.m. and wake up at around 8:30 a.m. Luckily, I did not experience any buzz in my ear and it was a very peaceful sleep. It's amazing how the human body can react so vigorously after a delay in its resting time. Wow, mighty selfish. Then again, it's my body and this means that I am pretty selfish in myself. Hmm, this requires much thought!

Aww I know what you mean. I go through weeks at a time like that. Except I wake up late at 7:20 haha. No but I go through that only in particular environments.. it's weird. ESPECIALLY camping! I can stay around the campfire until 2 to 3.. and wake up bright eyed at 5 or 6 in the morning ready to jump in the lake. :)
It is pretty amazing though how our bodies and minds can still function with lack of sleep. Maybe not as strong and focused as we would like them to, but they never fail us and carry us through the day!
