…smash the snooze button.
I’m a nocturnal beast. At 2 am, my eyelids aren’t quite heavy enough to induce sleep. No problem; I’ll write, or explore unknown regions of The Web, or bake something, or maybe accomplish some homework until my eyelids signal that it is time to lay me down. So far, this strategy has been efficient, but I’m realizing that something needs to change.
Nocturnal beast, meet Spring Term schedule: chemistry lab – 9 am, biology lab – 8 am, and work, all other days – 8:30 am, all for which alertness is key. Some of you workforce veterans have no pity for my disorientation–”Bah, when I was in school, classes started at 6:30 am! And I owned no shoes” — but your mocking response doesn’t ease the challenge of changing the sleeping patterns of a bat. My Circadian rhythm is syncopated.
