Sleep Deprivation

I haven't slept as much this past week as I usually do and I think that sleep deprivation has finally begun to catch up with me. I found it extremely hard to concentrate during class today and the post I wrote for Wednesday HodgePodge is full of grammar mistakes and just plain nonsense. I blame this deprivation on my weekend vacation. I usually have a pretty regular sleep pattern. I go to bed around 12 on Monday and Wednesday nights because I wake up early for work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, I usually stay up later because I get to sleep in before I have to rush off to school. Weekends are when I catch up on extra sleep, going to be late and sleeping in as long as I possibly can. During my Alabama vacation, I went to bed late and woke up early so I could get to Mary's for brunch. (Mary and her sisters have always been fabulous cooks.) I still haven't caught up on that lost sleep. Last night, I stayed up til nearly three playing the question game with a friend. In case you don't know, the question game is basically like truth or dare (with only truth). Someone asks you a question and you have to answer truthfully. While the game is fun, I regretted playing the second I woke up this morning. I'm amazed I made it through the day without falling over.

Anyway, this post was basically just a reminder to myself that I need sleep and I'm trying to go to bed at 9 tonight. (I doubt it'll actually happen)
