i really miss sleeping. i mean sleeping, sleeping-for-eight-hours-during-schooldays sleeping. for the past few months, ive only been sleeping for about five hours during schooldays. from about 12mn to 5am. always. or rather almost always.
im a guy who can easily adapt to some changes. some because i dont like changes. see my point? but really. that five-hour sleep is actually what im used to. and im so used to it that there are some bizarre things that happened to me beacuse of that. for once, there was one time when i slept at about 11.30pm, only thirty minutes earlier than the usual. i think its normal to think that when you sleep early, youll wake up early, right? but no. i woke up at 6.30am. an hour and a half late. damn. i missed my first class because of that. but thats not over. when i actually slept at about 1am, i woke up at, get this, 5am! whut! when i sleep early, i wake up late. and when i sleep late, i wake up early. kinda disadvantageous right.
still. i still have some other personal 'bedtime' stories.
there was one time when i kind of experimented what beverage would keep me awake for those nights of cramming and studying. wait. maybe just cramming, im not sure anymore. haha. but anyway, i tried a brand of powdered energy drink and of course, the usual coffee. i tried first the energy drink. yes it did keep me awake. too awake that when i actually wanted to sleep, i cant. even though it served its purpose, i never tried energy drinks again. its got a weird taste in it. its not actually bad but im not a fan of it. plus, im not into most chemical-based things. so then, i crossed that off the list.
then i tried the coffee. before, i do drink coffee during late nights but i observed that instead of keeping me awake, it actually made me sleepy. i dont know why but it did. it was supposed to be a stimulant. so i devised a way to determine it for real. for a whole week, i gulped big mugs of coffee while studying at night. and then i observed myself. true to the point, it kinda kept me awake. but not like the energy drink. i can sleep without much blabber while on coffee. but then again, i think what happened was just placebo effect cos when i drink coffee in the day, i still doze off. so i scrapped the idea. but the weird thing didnt happen until the next week. the week after, since im done with that little endeavour of mine wiht coffee, i stopped drinking during nighttime. but lo! when i tried to sleep, i cant. i just cant. i didnt know why but when i gulped a mug of those grounded arabica bean-based drink, i was off to dreamland in a few. whut!?! what happened you say?
what happened was that during that week of gulping mugs of coffee, my body took it as a sign its sleep time. my body got used to it that for better part of two weeks, i need to drink coffee just to sleep. unfair. and the thing is its just for a week and the drink-before-you-sleep lasted for about two weeks!
im telling you, im someone with some weird sleeping habits.
well, since then, i havent produced yet another brainchild experiment regarding my sleep. ive been fairly normal, if you call a five-hour sleep fairly normal. but then again, from where i study, that long already is. haha.
