Not enough sleep?

First off, yes, before I get to other matters of business, I am not participating in U-E track this year. I've been assuring everyone however that I will try my best to come watch the Ithacan races and take special notice of the people with the lovliest locks in the entire sport. Cough cough Dreds. However, I'm going to be writing a letter of resignation in a few minutes that I plan on filling with regrettful resolution, so to achieve this I don't want to get into how much I am not going to miss the sport. I will surely miss seeing the team a great deal though, and especially my cross country friends.

What else is a-poppin? Well, most recently, I took a 3 hour nap. I am trying to train myself to go to bed earlier. I'm reading up on the problems associated with going to bed really late, and some of them are a rise in blood sugar and hormones or something, increased hunger, and general problems with your overall health (perception, retentiveness, immune system, etc). It's generally best for a person to go to bed at 10 and get around 9 and a half hours of sleep. Yes, that is an insane amount of sleep, but I'm thinking... if I take at least an hour nap almost everyday already, and I typically spend at least 2 hours of my day doing unnecessary things like going on the computer and clearing my room constantly of all the clothes and books I dump on the floor on late nights, I have a lot of time I could be using to rest. It seems impossible to go to bed earlier than midnight for me, but it's worth a shot. We're talking about my hormones and blood sugar here, folks! My health could be seriously suffering and I wouldn't even know because I always go to bed late!

Now, if you will excuse me, I have some spaghetti and the nightly news with Brian Williams to get to. I love Bri Wi.
