Sleep Hygiene
What a horrible night.
After mugging another chapter of Pharmacology for the CA on Tuesday, I decided to call it a night at around 0330. Got in bed, tried to sleep. Some days when you hit the sack, you fall asleep right away, sometimes you don't, you just take that little bit longer. For some reason, a multitude of thoughts were running through my mind as I lay there on my mattress, and by the time I raised my head to glance at the clock, 15 minutes had already passed. I was still wide awake.
So I just lay there with my thoughts... Hopefully I'd drift off to sleep... But in times like these the worst thoughts always creep into my mind... First was that I was never gonna finish studying in time for the two tests and the usual crap like "I should've started earlier" or "I wish I would stop getting distracted" stuff kept turning up... Then stuff like relationships and friendships come into mind... And the usual questions "What the hell am I doing with my life" comes into mind...
It was 0400 already.
I decided, to hell with it, and I went down to hopefully relieve some of the tension with some FIFA 10. Didn't work, came back up and was as energetic as ever. Didn't really want to print notes cos I'd wake my family up... So I watched some Combat Missions on youtube, then I started to get tired at around 0600.
Slept at 0600. Can you believe it? Now I know what sleep anxiety feels like.
My whole morning is gone cos I just woke up at 1200. Crap. Gotta rush everything now. Very poor time and sleep management... If I can't finish, maybe I'll not go for the psych lects tomorrow... But then again, I bet tons of people won't go cos of the CA the next day... So if I don't go as well... The lecturers are gonna be mighty pissed.
Every time before a test I always wonder how on earth I'm gonna make it through this, and every time the test is over I always wonder, in retrospect, how I managed to survive it.
I guess things always have a way of working out... But I don't wanna ride on my luck for so many times in a row. Gotta work harder.
