I slept outside last night. Which totally would have been a good thing, except for the fact that I slept through my alarm and, subsequently, my first class and an hour of work. Sheesh.
That’s been something of a theme the last few days (or last 20 years, depending on how you look at it), actually– not sleeping through class or work, but just sleeping. A lot. In general.
For example: I took three naps yesterday (or four, or five, depending on how you count). Like last night. I was going to clean some computers in the SUB, but since it was still relatively early (like 8:00PM) and many of the computers were still in use, I decided I’d just hang out, do some reading, and wait for about an hour. While reading in Leigh Lounge, I suddenly began to feel sleepy, and resolved on a 15 minute nap. Sadly, when I woke, it was to the announcement that it was 11:30 and the SUB was being closed for the evening.
Or the night before that. It’s like 9:00, and I’m doing homework in the longroom when, all of the sudden… I can’t keep my eyes open. So I’m like “15 minute power nap!” I grab a pillow and a nice spot on the floor… and wake up at 3:00am. Nothing’s changed, really– there are still people doing homework (Andrew was still working on the same project), but … What-ev. So, I got up, did math homework for a couple hours, then home and slept in my bed for another two hours.
I think, though, that my body is just going through caffeine withdrawal. Instead of ingesting caffeine, I’ve just been giving in to my natural impulses to sleep. Eventually, I trust, I’ll get over this period of withdrawal, and I will, once again, be able to stay away for more than five hours in succession. In the mean time, though, life’s interesting. =)
