I am so tired that when I’m not asleep, I’m thinking about sleep, wanting sleep, or in the process of falling asleep. I worked 9-5:30 Wednesday and 9-5:15ish on Friday. The rest of the week was spent seeing friends, having friends over, going to lectures/seminars, doing work/reading for lectures and seminars and going to the gym. I really wanted to go to the gym today as I was only a bit tired this morning, but the weather was so bad I didn’t really fancy walking for around an hour and a half total in it. So of course that led to the fatal afternoon nap whilst I was reading, and since then I’ve been exhausted. What really kicks in is the fact that on Thursday nights, when I’m at society stuff, I don’t tend to go to bed until around 4 or 5 am, which is really stupid because the next day completely kills me and then I fail to catch up on sleep the rest of the week.

And suddenly it’s almost Monday and for the third week in a row I haven’t yet done the reading for my 9 am lecture and seminar at 12.

Then the week after this one is reading week, and I have a takeaway exam and all kinds of other fun stuff…where is the time going?! And how come I suddenly don’t have time to sleep any more?!
