Reason #534 I Need To Move Out
So my mother walks into my room at 2:30AM (a time where I am generally no longer wearing substantial clothing), without knocking (in direct breach of a courtesy I have requested many times).
HER: "If you were serious about your schoolwork, you wouldn't have been stressed out earlier and you would be asleep right now!"
What I'm not going to tell her-- for the sake of peace in my home-- is that not sleeping generally relates directly to my stress level (i.e., as my stress level rises, the less sleep I get, independent of how much work I'm actually trying to accomplish) and that sanctimonious lectures inspired at least as much by her crankiness as any genuine concern for my educational accomplishments will not help me sleep any better.
Personally, of all possible things I could be doing at 2AM while not yet remotely sleepy, I think that cleaning is relatively productive.
