Minions of My Mind

Eyes Wide Shut

I went to bed at 2 yesterday night, woke up at 6 this morning, and thought I was most likely gonna either:

a) collapse while waiting for the subway

b) collapse during AP Bio lecture

c) collapse while heading to the 10th floor via the escalators

or

d) collapsing right back into bed after alarm clock rings

However, it was surprisingly a pretty good day for me. I had a shortened school day and managed to stay awake throughout all my classes. I have a suspicion the milk + tea I drank this morning helped - but my overall theory is that "One does not feel so sleepy if one gets extremely inadequate sleep time as opposed to just inadequate."

Confused?

Yeah, so am I.

I guess when I get only a few hours of sleep (< or = 4), it feels more like a . . . nap and I'm refreshed rather than groggy. If I get only 6 or 7 hours, it feels like a bad sleep and I'm virtually comatose to the world.

Of course the best thing would also be 10+ hours of beauty sleep. *sighs dreamily* But that's all high school students' dream fantasy - it's rarely a reality. Poo.

I learned in AP Psychology last year that teenagers are programmed by nature to be late sleepers and late risers. Thus, school is most equivalent to a stubborn, sadistic, malicious institution that prevents innocent, sleep deprived kids from simply obliging with Mother Nature's own wonderfully nurturing systems.

I always knew the school system was evil somehow.
