Sleep? . . . right!

Posted by Elise

When I first got here, my sleeping cycle went crazy. I've always been a morning person (like really super early in the morning); now all of a sudden I was staying up 'til 3 and sleeping 'til 10 or 11. This is like a five-hour shift from what I did all through high school! It's weird what happens when there are no parents there to remind you how late it is or how early you have to get up tomorrow. And who wants to sleep when you can listen to Brian Regan with your roommates 'til 3 or go feed the ducks at midnight?

After a few weeks of this it was starting to wear on me—in my energy level and in those wonderful Italian bags under my eyes. :) So the last two or three days I've been going to bed before (or close to) midnight. I feel so much better! Just like every other aspect of college life, I just have to be aware of what I'm doing and keep myself in check and I'll be fine!
