I Don't Love Sleep? (auto-therapy)
[entry code: auto-therapy]
If I really liked sleep as much as I say I do,
I wouldn't procrastinate so much.
I stay up, saying I'll do my work...maybe I get to it at 9pm or 11pm and finish by 1-3am, or maybe I procrastinate until around midnight, decide to nap, and wake up early. Maybe I TRY to wake up early and fail. And these times I push back too far and/or fail to wake up, I generally have to repeat the pattern the next day because I'm even MORE behind.
Whichever it is, I won't get my full sleep. But I love sleep, don't I? Not just sufficient sleep - I love luxurious, over-abundant sleep! So why am I sabotaging it?
Such is my life. I should remember that I have Too Much to do. I should remember that it's either 1) Procrastinate and Lose Sleep Today, 2) Procrastinate MORE and Lose Sleep Today And Tomorrow, or 3) finish in a timely manner.
(or really, as it's grad school, sometimes without procrastination I'll still lose sleep...but what can you do?)
