Sleep vs. Homework September 24, 2008 at 12:32 am

My weekly schedule is kinda interesting in that I have a 9am class four days of the week, but on Wednesdays I don’t have class until 3pm. This, so far this semester, I have seen as nothing but I good thing since it allows me to get a whole bunch of sleep midweek to help stave off the fatigue brought on by sleeping 4-5 hours (technically I aim for 6-7 hours…my normal need is 9+) on my other school nights. (By now you’ve probably figured out that I’m a night owl, if you didn’t already figure that out by the timestamp on my posts.)

This week, however, I’m beginning to realize that I’ve really come to enjoy the fact that my 9am class gets me up in the morning and provides me hours of free time after it when I can do homework or whatever. I have an [chem lab] exam and a C++ program due on Thursday, so I kinda need to do a lot of work tomorrow (studying, finishing lab reports I never finished, programming….) in-between 4 hours of classes and also taking my weekly household cooking/dish turn, but I’m realizing that if I had a morning class that would so rudely cut my sleep short and get me up and about at 7:50am I would have several more hours of homework time to…well, OK, I’d probably just spend half most of it staring at the walls procrastinating and wondering why I’m so tired. So maybe sleeping later doesn’t matter all that much.

I’m sure you’ve all enjoyed this oh so fascinating look into my thought processes and semi-meta discussion of my homework schedule, but I think it’s time for bed. ‘Cause, you know, the sooner I get to bed the sooner I can get up in the morning and…do…all…that…work. Oh crap.

Cheers!
