To sleep, perchance to dream
I love sleep. Sleeping is my favorite hobby. I think I'm probably the lamest girlfriend in the world because a few weeks ago when Mike said, "So, what do you want to do?" I said, "How about a nap?"
I take birth control for medicinal purposes and, as anyone on birth control knows, you should take it at roughly the same time every day. My time is 10 PM. They say you should take it within an hour of your target time, but I was always a little stricter and tried to take it between 9:30 and 10:30. Recently I noticed that I was having trouble staying up until 9:30, so I switched the target time to 9 PM so I could take it and go to sleep at 8:30.
For three glorious days I was able to trick my body into getting nine hours of sleep a night...I'd go to sleep at 8:30 but wouldn't wake up until my normal 5:30 AM. I was so rested and refreshed, and I wished that I'd thought of this sooner.
Unfortunately, today my body caught up to me, and I woke up at 4:30.
4:30.
That is TOO DAMN EARLY to be awake. It's not even technically daytime...it's still dark outside. And for me, nothing hurts worse than a pre-dawn awakening.
So I guess it's back to staying up until 9:30 or 10. I know that at the age of 26 that shouldn't be such a crushing blow, but...it is, man. It is.

If im up at 4:30, I'm STILL up.
Sleeping is one of my favorite hobbies too, especially in good company.
