Sleep when you're dead

I can't remember the last time I went to bed at a reasonable hour. Seriously. It's 10:22 am and I'm sitting in front of my pc feeling like an absolute zombie. The earliest I've been to bed in the last two weeks is probably 11:30pm. And now I know that a lot of you are rolling your eyes and going "Please, that's early!" but bear in mind that I'm an 8-hours-a-night kind of girl, and I get up super early because I am, unfortunately, a morning person.

The reasons for this are widely varied. Relationship issues kept me up in the first week, followed by the travesties of Trivar (try saying that three times fast :P ). Then I had a surprisingly social week, which meant late evening tea and movie visits. And then this weekend I've been to bed at 1:30 am both nights so far. The catch? I've been awake by 7:30 am latest every single morning. And the lack of bed-hours is starting to pile up.

I was once told that about the Three S's. These are Sleep, Socialise and Study, and supposedly a university student can only ever have two of the three. At the moment I seem slightly unbalanced in that my sleep schedule has gone completely awry while my socialising (and partly my studying) has flourished. The result? I'm a highly social, well-prepared for lectures, zombie. At this very moment the screen in front of me is going slightly blurry. Why do I not go back to bed? Well, first I have a philosophy reading and summary for tomorrow. This afternoon I may have company coming over. Tonight I have a res movie evening to attend. At what point am I meant to take a much-needed nap?? Sob. I need bed.
